Phosphonopyruvate hydrolase

In enzymology, a phosphonopyruvate hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * 3-phosphonopyruvate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyruvate + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-phosphonopyruvate and H2O, whereas its two products are pyruvate and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-phosphorus bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is . This enzyme is also called PPH.
