Sugar-phosphatase

The enzyme sugar-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.23) catalyzes the reaction


 * sugar phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ sugar + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is sugar-phosphate phosphohydrolase.
