Phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase

The enzyme phosphoenol pyruvate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.60) catalyzes the reaction


 * phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyruvate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphoenolpyruvate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called PEP phosphatase.
