In enzymology, a sugar-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

sugar phosphate + H2O sugar + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sugar phosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are sugar and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sugar-phosphate phosphohydrolase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2HF2.
