Pyridoxal phosphatase

:pyridoxal 5′-phosphate + H₂O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> pyridoxal + phosphate

:pyridoxal 5′-phosphate + H₂O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> pyridoxal + phosphate

It also acts on pyridoxine phosphate (PNP), pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), 4-pyridoxic acid phosphate and 4-deoxypyridoxine phosphate to remove their phosphate groups.

It also acts on pyridoxine phosphate (PNP), pyridoxamine phosphate (PMP), 4-pyridoxic acid phosphate and 4-deoxypyridoxine phosphate to remove their phosphate groups. Two human genes produce proteins that act as this kind of enzyme: ''[[PDXP]]'' and ''[[PHOSPHO2]]''.

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, specifically those acting on phosphoric [[ester|monoester]] bonds. The [[List of enzymes|systematic name]] is '''pyridoxal-5′-phosphate phosphohydrolase'''. Other names in common use include '''vitamine B₆ (pyridoxine) phosphatase''', '''PLP phosphatase''', '''vitamin B₆-phosphate phosphatase''', and '''PNP phosphatase'''. This enzyme participates in vitamin B₆ metabolism.
