The enzyme characterised from human erythrocytes hydrolyses pyridoxal phosphate to pyridoxal and orthophosphate.[1][2][3] Pyridoxal phosphate is an essential cofactor in many other enzyme-catalysed reactions and its cellular concentration is controlled by this hydrolysis.[4] This phosphatase is also found in plants.[5]

The enzyme also acts on pyridoxine phosphate, pyridoxamine phosphate, 4-pyridoxic acid phosphate and 4-deoxypyridoxine phosphate to remove their phosphate groups. Two human genes produce proteins that act as this kind of enzyme: PDXP and PHOSPHO2.

This enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically one acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is pyridoxal-5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include vitamine B6 (pyridoxine) phosphatase, PLP phosphatase, vitamin B6-phosphate phosphatase, and PNP phosphatase.[6]
