ENZYME entry: EC 3.6.1.5

Accepted Name
Apyrase.
Alternative Name(s)
Adenosine diphosphatase.
ADPase.
ATP-diphosphatase.
ATP-diphosphohydrolase.
Reaction catalysed
A nucleoside 5'-triphosphate + 2 H(2)O <=> a nucleoside 5'-phosphate + 2 phosphate
Cofactor(s)
Ca(2+).
Comment(s)
  • Apyrases are active against both di- and triphosphate nucleotides (NDPs and NTPs) and hydrolyze NTPs to nucleotide monophosphates (NMPs) in two distinct successive phosphate-releasing steps, with NDPs as intermediates.
  • They differ from ATPases, which specifically hydrolyze ATP, by hydrolyzing both ATP and ADP.
  • Most of the ecto-ATPases that occur on the cell surface and hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides belong to this enzyme family.
