Activity regulation: Activity is potassium and sulfate-independent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=54 uM for arsenate (in the presence of KCl) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027}; KM=58 uM for arsenate (in the presence of NaCl) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027}; KM=64 uM for arsenate (in the presence of Na(2)SO(4)) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027}; KM=47 uM for arsenate (in the presence of K(2)SO(4)) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027}; Note=kcat is 96 min(-1) in the presence of KCl (PubMed:16797027). kcat is 80 min(-1) in the presence of NaCl (PubMed:16797027). kcat is 120 min(-1) in the presence of Na(2)SO(4) (PubMed:16797027). kcat is 95 min(-1) in the presence of K(2)SO(4) (PubMed:16797027). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16797027};
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11698660}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01624}.
Induction: Induced by arsenate, arsenite, and antimonite. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9537360}.
Disruption phenotype: Mutant is sensitive to arsenate but is still resistant to arsenite. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9537360}.
Similarity: Belongs to the low molecular weight phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase family. Thioredoxin-coupled ArsC subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01624, ECO:0000305}.
