Phosphoserine phosphatase

The enzyme phosphoserine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.3) catalyzes the reaction


 * O-phospho- L (or D )-serine + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ L (or D )-serine + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is O-phosphoserine phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.
