Phosphoglycerate phosphatase

The enzyme phosphoglycerate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.20) catalyzes the reaction


 * D -glycerate 2-phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -glycerate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is  D -glycerate-2-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include  D -2-phosphoglycerate phosphatase, and glycerophosphate phosphatase.
