EC 3.9.1.1

Accepted name: phosphoamidase

Reaction: N-phosphocreatine + H2O = creatine + phosphate

Other name(s): creatine phosphatase

Systematic name: phosphamide hydrolase

Comments: Also acts on N-phospho-arginine and other phosphoamides. Possibly identical with EC 3.1.3.9 (glucose-6-phosphatase) or EC 3.1.3.16 (protein-serine/threonine phosphatase).
