IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.1.3.99

Accepted name: IMP-specific 5'-nucleotidase

Reaction: IMP + H2O = inosine + phosphate

Other name(s): ISN1 (gene name)

Systematic name: inosine 5'-phosphate phosphohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme, isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is highly specific for inosine 5'-phosphate, and has no detectable activity with other purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. Requires divalent metals, such as Mg2+, Co2+ or Mn2+.
