Phosphoethanolamine/phosphocholine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.75,PHOSPHO1, 3X11A; systematic namephosphoethanolamine phosphohydrolase) is anenzyme highly expressed in mineralizing cells .[1][2][3] This enzyme is implicated inbone andcartilage formation andcatalyses the followingchemical reactions:
The enzyme is a member of the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily. Like other members of this superfamily it requires a metal ion for catalysis, which is usually Mg2+, it is also active in the presence of Co2+ or Mn2+ but exhibits a lower specific activity with these metal ions.
