Protein
Alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate phosphatase YihX
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (Glc1P) and, to a lesser extent, of other sugar phosphates (PubMed:16990279) (PubMed:25484615). Has no activity with the beta form of Glc1P. In addition, YihX has significant phosphatase activity against pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and low beta-phosphoglucomutase activity (PubMed:16990279).
Similarity
Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. YihX family.
