IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.1.3.9

Names

Accepted name:
glucose-6-phosphatase
Other name:
glucose 6-phosphate phosphatase
Systematic name:
D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphohydrolase

Reaction

Comments:

Wide distribution in animal tissues. Also catalyses potent transphosphorylations from carbamoyl phosphate, hexose phosphates, diphosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate and nucleoside di- and triphosphates, to D-glucose, D-mannose, 3-methyl-D-glucose or 2-deoxy-D-glucose [cf. EC 2.7.1.62 (phosphoramidate-hexose phosphotransferase), EC 2.7.1.79 (diphosphate-glycerol phosphotransferase) and EC 3.9.1.1 (phosphoamidase)].
