Phosphatase Classification: Histidine phosphatase superfamily

Histidine phosphatase does not dephosphorylate pHis. It is named for the catalytic histidine which is phosphorylated during catalysis [1]. In fact, the superfamily is a large functionally diverse group of proteins. For a complete of functions characterized members in the superfamily, see Table 1 and Table S1 in [1]). The superfamily contains two branches sharing very limited sequence similarity. The superfamily is corresponding to His_phosphatase in PFAM database, Pfam ID CL0071).
