IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.6.1.45

Names

Accepted name:
UDP-sugar diphosphatase
Other names:
UDP-sugar hydrolase
UDP-sugar pyrophosphatase
nucleosidediphosphate-sugar diphosphatase
nucleosidediphosphate-sugar pyrophosphatase
Systematic name:
UDP-sugar sugarphosphohydrolase

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

A divalent cation is required for activity. UDP-sugar is the best substrate, although other nucleoside-sugar diphosphates are used as substrates with similar Km values but much lower maximum velocities. Thus, this enzyme has a specificity distinct from that of ADP-sugar diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.21). Some but not all enzymes of this class also appear to have 5'-nucleotidase (see EC 3.1.3.5) activity.
