IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.6.1.52

Accepted name: diphosphoinositol-polyphosphate diphosphatase

Reaction: diphospho-myo-inositol polyphosphate + H2O = myo-inositol polyphosphate + phosphate

Other name(s): diphosphoinositol-polyphosphate phosphohydrolase; DIPP

Systematic name: diphospho-myo-inositol-polyphosphate diphosphohydrolase

Comments: This enzyme hydrolyses the diphosphate bond, leaving a phospho group where a diphospho group had been. It can also act on bis(adenosine) diphosphate.
