thumb|Reaction diagrams for both hydrolytic (left) and phosphorolytic (right) 3'-5' exoribonuclease degradation of RNA.
An exoribonuclease is an exonuclease ribonuclease, which are enzymes that degrade RNA by removing terminal nucleotides from either the 5' end or the 3' end of the RNA molecule. Enzymes that remove nucleotides from the 5' end are called ''5'-3' exoribonucleases'', and enzymes that remove nucleotides from the 3' end are called ''3'-5' exoribonucleases''.
