7-methylguanosine phosphate-specific 5'-nucleotidase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9W197

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifically hydrolyzes 7-methylguanosine monophosphate (m(7)GMP) to 7-methylguanosine and inorganic phosphate (PubMed:23223233, PubMed:24603684). Also able to mediate hydrolysis of diphosphate (m(7)GDP) to 7-methylguanosine and 2 inorganic phosphate with lower activity (PubMed:23223233). The specific activity for m(7)GMP may protect cells against undesired salvage of m(7)GMP and its incorporation into nucleic acids (PubMed:23223233). Also has weak activity for CMP (PubMed:23223233, PubMed:24603684). UMP and purine nucleotides are poor substrates (PubMed:23223233, PubMed:24603684).
