The enzyme D-lactate-2-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.17)[1] catalyzes the reaction
- (R)-2-O-sulfolactate + H2O (R)-lactate + sulfate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name is (R)-2-O-sulfolactate 2-sulfohydrolase.
The other name (S)-2-O-sulfolactate 2-sulfohydrolase specifies the stereochemistry incorrectly.
