The enzyme glucose-1-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.10) catalyzes the reaction

 
H2O
Rightward reaction arrow with minor substrate(s) from top left and minor product(s) to top right
 
 
 

The enzyme characterised from silkworm and pea seeds hydrolyses glucose 1-phosphate to D-glucose and orthophosphate.[1][2][3] In some organisms such as the bacterium Pantoea species strain 3.5.1, glucose-1-phosphatase behaves as a phytase, allowing uptake of phosphate from soil.[4]

This enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically one acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is α-D-glucose-1-phosphate phosphohydrolase.[5]

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB: 1NT4​.
