IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.6.1.15

Names

Accepted name:
nucleoside-triphosphate phosphatase
Other names:
nucleoside 5-triphosphatase
nucleoside triphosphate phosphohydrolase
nucleoside-5-triphosphate phosphohydrolase
nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase
NTPase
nucleoside-triphosphatase
Systematic name:
unspecific diphosphate phosphohydrolase

Reaction

Comments:

The enzyme is found in eukaryotes and thermophilic bacteria, but appears to be absent from mesophilic bacteria. Also hydrolyses nucleoside diphosphates, thiamine diphosphate and FAD. The enzyme from the plant Pisum sativum (garden pea) is regulated by calmodulin [5].
