'''Nucleoside triphosphatase''' or '''nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase''' (NTPase) is responsible for degradation of nucleotides to their monophosphate form. NTPase is found in mammals and in pathogenic microbes. In mammals NTPase hs a crucial role in regulation of purinergic signalling by hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides. The function of NTPase in pathogens is still unknown<ref>PMID:24115522</ref>. | '''Nucleoside triphosphatase''' or '''nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase''' (NTPase) is responsible for degradation of nucleotides to their monophosphate form.
