Description
In enzymology, a trehalose-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: alpha,alpha-trehalose 6-phosphate + H2O ↔ alpha,alpha-trehalose + phosphate. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are alpha,alpha'-trehalose 6-phosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are alpha,alpha-trehalose and phosphate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds
