Reaction: A nucleoside diphosphate + H2O = a nucleoside phosphate + phosphate
Other name(s): thiaminpyrophosphatase; UDPase; inosine diphosphatase; adenosine diphosphatase; IDPase; ADPase; adenosinepyrophosphatase; guanosine diphosphatase; guanosine 5'-diphosphatase; inosine 5'-diphosphatase; uridine diphosphatase; uridine 5'-diphosphatase; type B nucleoside diphosphatase; GDPase; CDPase; nucleoside 5'-diphosphatase; type L nucleoside diphosphatase; NDPase; nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase; nucleoside-diphosphatase
Systematic name: nucleoside-diphosphate phosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme, which appears to be limited to metazoa, acts on multiple nucleoside diphosphates as well as on D-ribose 5-diphosphate. Specificity depends on species and isoform.
