Reaction: a nucleoside triphosphate + H2O = a nucleotide + diphosphate
Other name(s): ENPP1 (gene name); nucleotide pyrophosphatase; nucleotide-sugar pyrophosphatase; nucleoside-triphosphate diphosphatase
Systematic name: nucleoside-triphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme preferentially hydrolyses ATP, but can also hydrolyse other nucleoside 5' triphosphates such as GTP, CTP, TTP and UTP to their corresponding monophosphates. In vitro the enzyme also acts as a nucleotidohydrolase on ADP, NAD+, NADP+, FAD, and CoA.
