The enzyme phosphoenol pyruvate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.60) catalyzes the reaction
phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O
pyruvate + phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphoenolpyruvate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme is also called PEP phosphatase.
