Other comments
Wide specificity for 5'-nucleotides.
5'-nucleotidases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of
phosphate esterified at carbon 5' of the ribose and deoxyribose portions of
nucleotide molecules. 5'-nucleotidase is a ubiquitous enzyme found in a wide
variety of species and which occurs in different cellular locations.
