Sugar-terminal-phosphatase

The enzyme sugar-terminal-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.58) catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * D -glucose 6-phosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -glucose + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is sugar-ω-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called xylitol-5-phosphatase.
