Thiamine-triphosphatase

Thiamine-triphosphatase is an enzyme involved in thiamine metabolism. It catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * thiamine triphosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ thiamine diphosphate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of acid anhydride hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphorus-containing anhydrides. Its systematic name is thiamine triphosphate phosphohydrolase.

Structural studies
