Phytase A

UniProtKB accession:  P34752

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the phosphate monoester hydrolysis of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), which results in the stepwise formation of myo-inositol pentakis-, tetrakis-, tris-, bis-, and monophosphates, as well as the liberation of inorganic phosphate (PubMed:8387447, PubMed:9925555). Myo-inositol 2-monophosphate is the end product (PubMed:9925555). Has a broad substrate specificity and is also able to dephosphorylate other classic acid phosphatase substrates such as p-nitrophenyl phosphate, phenyl phosphate, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (PubMed:9925555).
