Deoxyribonuclease II (EC 3.1.22.1, DNase II, pancreatic DNase II, deoxyribonucleate 3'-nucleotidohydrolase, pancreatic DNase II, acid deoxyribonuclease, acid DNase) hydrolyzes deoxyribonucleotide linkages in native and denatured DNA, yielding products with 3'-phosphates. As the name implies, it is more effective at acid pH.

There are several known DNases II, including:

  • DNase II alpha (usually just called DNase II)
  • DNase II beta (also called DLAD, or DNase II-Like Acid DNase)
