Description (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) alkaline phosphatase
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) Alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a wide variety of phosphomonoesters. The reaction proceeds through a phosphoseryl intermediate. The enzyme will also catalyze a transphosphorylation reaction with the transfer of the phosphoryl group to the alcohol in the presence of certain phosphate acceptors. Alkaline phosphatase is a metalloenzyme, binding two zinc atoms and one magnesium ion per monomer. The enzyme has been crystallized. [3][4][5][6]
