3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase 1

UniProtKB accession:  O95861

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Phosphatase that converts 3'(2')-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate (PAP) to AMP and inositol 1,4-bisphosphate (Ins(1,4)P2) to inositol 4-phosphate (PubMed:10675562). Is also able to hydrolyze adenosine 3'-phosphate 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS) (By similarity). Probably prevents the toxic accumulation of PAP, a compound which inhibits a variety of proteins, including PAPS-utilizing enzymes such as sulfotransferases, and RNA processing enzymes. Could also play a role in inositol recycling and phosphoinositide metabolism. Is not active on 3'-AMP, inositol-1-phosphate and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (PubMed:10675562).
