Phosphonoacetate hydrolase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a phosphonoacetate hydrolase (EC 3.11.1.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- phosphonoacetate + H2O acetate + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are phosphonoacetate and H2O, whereas its two products are acetate and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-phosphorus bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphonoacetate phosphonohydrolase. This enzyme participates in aminophosphonate metabolism. It employs one cofactor, zinc.
