Phosphoric monoester hydrolases

Phosphoric monoester hydrolases (or phosphomonoesterases) are enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of O-P bonds by nucleophilic attack of phosphorus by cysteine residues or coordinated metal ions.

They are categorized with the EC number 3.1.3.

Examples include:
 * acid phosphatase
 * alkaline phosphatase
 * fructose-bisphosphatase
 * glucose-6-phosphatase
 * phosphofructokinase-2
 * phosphoprotein phosphatase
 * calcineurin
 * 6-phytase
