The enzyme histidinol-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.15) catalyzes the reaction
L-histidinol phosphate + H2O
\rightleftharpoons
This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific, those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is L-histidinol-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include histidinol phosphate phosphatase, L-histidinol phosphate phosphatase, histidinolphosphate phosphatase, HPpase, and histidinolphosphatase.
See main article: hisB. In E. coli the enzyme encoded by the gene hisB is a fused imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase and histidinol-phosphatase.[1]
