The enzyme phosphoserine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.3) catalyzes the reaction

O-phospho-L(or D)-serine + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ L(or D)-serine + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is O-phosphoserine phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 12 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1F5S, 1J97, 1L7M, 1L7N, 1L7O, 1L7P, 1L8L, 1L8O, 1NNL, 2J6Y, 2J6Z, and 2J70.
