- Thymidine-triphosphatase
In
enzymology , a thymidine-triphosphatase (EC number|3.6.1.39) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :dTTP + H2O dTDP + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
dTTP and H2O, whereas its two products aredTDP andphosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dTTP nucleotidohydrolase. Other names in common use include thymidine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, dTTPase, and deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphatase. This enzyme participates inpyrimidine metabolism .References
