In
enzymology, a thymidine-triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- dTTP + H2O dTDP + phosphate
Thus, the two
dTDP and phosphate
.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dTTP nucleotidohydrolase. Other names in common use include thymidine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, dTTPase, and deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphatase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine metabolism.
