EC 3.1.4.37

Accepted name: 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase

Reaction: nucleoside 2',3'-cyclic phosphate + H2O = nucleoside 2'-phosphate

Other name(s): cyclic-CMP phosphodiesterase; 2',3'-cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase; cyclic 2',3'-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase; cyclic 2',3'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase; 2',3'-cyclic nucleoside monophosphate phosphodiesterase; 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase; CNPase; 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide phosphohydrolase; 2':3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase; 2':3'-CNMP-3'-ase

Systematic name: nucleoside-2',3'-cyclic-phosphate 2'-nucleotidohydrolase

Comments: The brain enzyme acts on 2',3'-cyclic AMP more rapidly than on the UMP or CMP derivatives. An enzyme from liver acts on 2',3'-cyclic CMP more rapidly than on the purine derivatives; it also hydrolyses the corresponding 3',5'-cyclic phosphates, but more slowly. This latter enzyme has been called cyclic-CMP phosphodiesterase.
