D-glycerate 3-phosphate + H2O D-glycerate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is D-glycerate-3-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include D-3-Phosphoglycerate phosphatase, and 3-PGA phosphatase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.
