UniProtKB description:  Sugar-phosphate phosphohydrolase that catalyzes the dephosphorylation of D-mannitol 1-phosphate and D-sorbitol 6-phosphate (PubMed:27941785). Also catalyzes the dephosphorylation of 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate (2dGlu6P); this is a biologically important activity in vivo since it contributes to the elimination of this toxic compound and plays an important role in the resistance of E.coli to 2-deoxyglucose (PubMed:16990279). To a lesser extent, is also able to dephosphorylate mannose 6-phosphate (Man6P), erythrose-4-phosphate, 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate (2dRib5P), ribose-5-phosphate (Rib5P) and glucose-6-phosphate (Glu6P) in vitro (PubMed:16990279).
