Phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.75, PHOSPHO1, 3X11A; systematic name phosphoethanolamine phosphohydrolase) is an enzyme highly expressed in mineralizing cells .[1][2] This enzyme is implicated in bone and cartilage formation and catalyses the following two chemical reactions:

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

In each case, a phosphate group is removed by hydrolysis, giving orthophosphate (Pi) as a byproduct. The enzyme is specific for phosphorylethanolamine and phosphocholine.[3]

The enzyme is a member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily. Like other members of this superfamily it requires a metal ion for catalysis, which is usually Mg2+, it is also active in the presence of Co2+ or Mn2+ but exhibits a lower specific activity with these metal ions.[4]
