5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5, uridine 5'-nucleotidase, 5'-adenylic phosphatase, adenosine 5'-phosphatase, AMP phosphatase, adenosine monophosphatase, 5'-mononucleotidase, AMPase, UMPase, snake venom 5'-nucleotidase, thimidine monophosphate nucleotidase, 5'-AMPase, 5'-AMP nucleotidase, AMP phosphohydrolase, IMP 5'-nucleotidase) is an enzyme with system name 5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

a 5'-ribonucleotide + H2O \rightleftharpoons a ribonucleoside + phosphate

This enzyme has a wide specificity for 5'-nucleotides.
