Nt5e
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleotide monophosphates, releasing inorganic phosphate and the corresponding nucleoside (PubMed:1770988). AMP is the preferred substrate but can also hydrolyze CMP and GMP (PubMed:1770988). Shows a preference for ribonucleotide monophosphates over their equivalent deoxyribose forms (By similarity). Other substrates include IMP, UMP, dAMP, dCMP, dTMP, NAD and NMN (By similarity).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the 5'-nucleotidase family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in the brain.
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Lipid-anchor
- GPI-anchor
