Unique ID
D043264
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D043264
Scope Note
A phosphoric diester hydrolase that removes 5'-nucleotides from the 3'-hydroxy termini of 3'-hydroxy-terminated OLIGONUCLEOTIDES. It has low activity towards POLYNUCLEOTIDES and the presence of 3'-phosphate terminus on the substrate may inhibit hydrolysis.
Entry Term(s)
5'-Exonuclease
5'-Nucleotidephosphodiesterase
Alkaline Phosphodiesterase
Alkaline Phosphodiesterase I
Oligonucleate 5'-Nucleotidohydrolase
Orthophosphoric Diester Phosphohydrolase
