In enzymology, an acylphosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the following chemical reaction with having two substrates of this enzyme are acylphosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are carboxylate and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acylphosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include acetylphosphatase, 1,3-diphosphoglycerate phosphatase, acetic phosphatase, Ho 1-3, and GP 1-3.
