Protein
6-phosphogluconate phosphatase
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Catalyzes strongly the dephosphorylation of 6-phosphogluconate (6P-Glu) and slightly the dephosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP). Also hydrolyzes both purines (GMP and IMP) and pyrimidines as secondary substrates.
Similarity
Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. CbbY/CbbZ/Gph/YieH family.
