Thymidylate 5'-phosphatase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a thymidylate 5'-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- thymidylate + H2O thymidine + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are thymidylate and H2O, whereas its two products are thymidine and phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thymidylate 5'-phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include thymidylate 5'-nucleotidase, deoxythymidylate 5'-nucleotidase, thymidylate nucleotidase, deoxythymidylic 5'-nucleotidase, deoxythymidylate phosphohydrolase, and dTMPase.
