(pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring))-phosphatase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)]-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.43) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

[pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate + H2O \rightleftharpoons [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are [[[pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)] phosphate]] and H2O, whereas its two products are [[[pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)]]] 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 [pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring)]-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase, phosphopyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase, [pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide)]-phosphatase, and [pyruvate dehydrogenase (lipoamide)]-phosphate phosphohydrolase.
