- Inosinate nucleosidase
In
enzymology , an inosinate nucleosidase (EC number|3.2.2.12) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :5'-inosinate + H2O D-ribose 5-phosphate + hypoxanthine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
5'-inosinate and H2O, whereas its two products areD-ribose 5-phosphate andhypoxanthine .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those glycosylases that hydrolyse N-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5'-inosinate phosphoribohydrolase. This enzyme participates inpurine metabolism .References
