The enzyme N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.29) catalyzes the reaction

N-acylneuraminate 9-phosphate + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] N-acylneuraminate + phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is N-acylneuraminate-9-phosphate phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include acylneuraminate 9-phosphatase, N-acylneuraminic acid 9-phosphate phosphatase, and N-acylneuraminic (sialic) acid 9-phosphatase. This enzyme participates in aminosugars metabolism.
