The enzyme 3′-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.6) the reaction a 3′-ribonucleotide + H2O \rightleftharpoons a ribonucleoside + phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is 3′-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include 3′-mononucleotidase, 3′-phosphatase, and 3′-ribonucleotidase. This enzyme participates in purine and pyrimidine metabolism.
