2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphatase
Ec Number:	3.1.3.68
Cas Number:	65187-56-6
Go Code:	0003850

The enzyme 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.68) catalyzes the reaction

2-deoxy-D-glucose 6-phosphate + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons 2-deoxy-D-glucose + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is 2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate phosphatase.
