Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: N-phosphocreatine + H2O = creatine + phosphate. [EC:3.9.1.1, RHEA:12977]
Phosphoamidase activity refers to the enzymatic hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters, cleaving the bond between a phosphate group and a hydroxyl group on an organic molecule. This process is crucial for various cellular functions, including:
- **Signal transduction:** Phosphoamidases regulate signaling pathways by removing phosphate groups from signaling molecules, effectively switching them off. This is essential for controlling cellular responses to stimuli, such as hormones and growth factors.
- **Metabolism:** Phosphoamidases play a role in the metabolism of various compounds, including nucleotides, sugars, and lipids. They can liberate phosphate groups from these molecules, making them available for other metabolic reactions.
- **Detoxification:** Some phosphoamidases can hydrolyze phosphate esters that are toxic to cells, removing them from the body.
- **DNA repair:** Phosphoamidases participate in DNA repair pathways by removing phosphate groups from damaged DNA, enabling the repair process to proceed.
The specific substrates and products of phosphoamidases vary depending on the enzyme and its cellular location. However, the core molecular function remains the same: the cleavage of a phosphate monoester bond.'
