In enzymology, a histidinol-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-histidinol phosphate + H2O L-histidinol + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and H2O, whereas its two products are and phosphate.

This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.

Nomenclature[]

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, to be specific, those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-histidinol-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include histidinol phosphate phosphatase, L-histidinol phosphate phosphatase, histidinolphosphate phosphatase, HPpase, and histidinolphosphatase.

E. coli[]

In E. coli the enzyme encoded by the gene hisB is a fused imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase and histidinol-phosphatase.[1]
