WHAT DOES NUCLEOTIDASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nucleotidase

A nucleotidase is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide into a nucleoside and a phosphate. For example, it converts adenosine monophosphate to adenosine, and guanosine monophosphate to guanosine. Nucleotidases have an important function in digestion in that they break down consumed nucleic acids. They can be divided into two categories, based upon the end that is hydrolyzed: ▪ EC 3.1.3.5: 5'-nucleotidase - NT5C, NT5C1A, NT5C1B, NT5C2, NT5C3 ▪ EC 3.1.3.6: 3'-nucleotidase - NT3 5'-Nucleotidases cleave off the phosphate from the 5' end of the sugar moiety. They can be classified into various kinds depending on their substrate preferences and subcellular localization. Membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidases display specificity toward adenosine monophosphates and are involved predominantly in the salvage of preformed nucleotides and in signal transduction cascades involving purinergic receptors. Soluble 5'-nucleotidases are all known to belong to the haloacid dehalogenase superfamily of enzymes, which are two domain proteins characterised by a modified Rossman fold as the core and variable cap or hood.

Definition of nucleotidase in the English dictionary

The definition of nucleotidase in the dictionary is a biochemical catalyst that facilitates the process of hydrolyzing or splitting a nucleotide and turning it into a phosphate and a nucleoside.
