The enzyme glycosulfatase (EC 3.1.6.3)[1][2][3] catalyzes the reaction
- D-glucose 6-sulfate + H2O D-glucose + sulfate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sugar-sulfate sulfohydrolase. This enzyme is also called glucosulfatase. This enzyme participates in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
