5NT3B_HUMAN Protein

Name 7-methylguanosine phosphate-specific 5'-nucleotidase
Description Specifically hydrolyzes 7-methylguanosine monophosphate (m(7)GMP) to 7-methylguanosine and inorganic phosphate. The specific activity for m(7)GMP may protect cells against undesired salvage of m(7)GMP and its incorporation into nucleic acids. Also has weak activity for CMP. UMP and purine nucleotides are poor substrates.
UniProt ID Q969T7
