nucleotidase
Sign in to saveAlso known as nucleotide phosphohydrolase, acid nucleotidase, deoxyinosine-activated nucleotidase (DIAN), nucleotide-specific phosphatase, deoxyribonucleoside-activated nucleotidase (DAN), nucleotidases
A nucleotidase is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide into a nucleoside and a phosphate. A nucleotide + H2O = a nucleoside + phosphate For example, it converts adenosine monophosphate to adenosine, and guanosine monophosphate to guanosine.

Nucleotidases have an important function in digestion in that they break down consumed nucleic acids.
