Description

Catalysis of the reaction: protein histidine phosphate + H2O = protein histidine + phosphate.

Comment

This eukaryotic enzyme dephosphorylates phosphorylated histidine residues within proteins and peptides. The enzyme acts on phosphate groups attached to both the pros- (RHEA:47964) and tele- (RHEA:47960) nitrogen atoms, but the pros- position is somewhat preferred (by a factor of two at the most) (EC:3.9.1.3).
