NUCLEOTIDASE
A 'nucleotidase' is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide into a nucleoside and a phosphate. For example, they convert adenosine monophosphate to adenosine, and guanosine monophosphate to guanosine.
They have an important function in digestion in that they break down consumed nucleic acids.
They can be divided into two categories, based upon the end which is hydrolyzed:
★ : 5'-nucleotidase - , , , ,
★ : 3'-nucleotidase -
