ENTRY EC 3.6.1.45
NAME UDP-sugar siphosphatase
UDP-sugar pyrophosphatase
Nucleosidesiphosphate-sugar pyrophosphatase
UDP-sugar hydrolase
CLASS Hydrolases
Acting on acid anhydrides
In phosphorus-containing anhydrides
REACTION UDP-sugar + H2O = UMP + Sugar 1-phosphate
SUBSTRATE UDP-sugar
H2O
PRODUCT UMP
Sugar 1-phosphate
COMMENT UDP-sugar is the best substrate,although other nucleoside-
sugar diphosphates are used as substrates with similar KM
values but much lower maximum velocities. Thus this enzyme
has a distinct specificity from ADP-sugar pyrophosphatase
(EC 3.6.1.21).
Some but not all enzymes of this class also appear to have
5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) activity.
