Sucrose-phosphatase

The enzyme sucrose-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.24) catalyzes the reaction


 * sucrose 6F-phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ sucrose + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sucrose-6F-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include sucrose 6-phosphate hydrolase, sucrose-phosphate hydrolase, sucrose-phosphate phosphohydrolase, and sucrose-6-phosphatase. This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
