Reaction: sugar phosphate + H2O = sugar + phosphate
Systematic name: sugar-phosphate phosphohydrolase
Comments: Has a wide specificity, acting on aldohexose 1-phosphates, ketohexose 1-phosphates, aldohexose 6-phosphates, ketohexose 6-phosphates, both phosphate ester bonds of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, phosphoric esters of disaccharides, and on pentose and triose phosphates, but at a slower rate.
