Entries

EC 3.6.1.1

Accepted name: inorganic diphosphatase

Reaction: diphosphate + H2O = 2 phosphate

Systematic name: diphosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments: Specificity varies with the source and with the activating metal ion. The enzyme from some sources may be identical with EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) or EC 3.1.3.9 (glucose-6-phosphatase). A form of this enzyme with a molecular mass of about 90 kDa is found in tonoplasts of plants and fungi, where it imports protons from the cytosol into the vacuolar lumen.

Thus, this enzyme has a specificity distinct from that of ADP-sugar diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.21). Some but not all enzymes of this class also appear to have 5'-nucleotidase (see EC 3.1.3.5) activity.
