Gene: NUDT9
Alternate names for this Gene: NUDT10
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Nudix hydrolase family. Nudix boxes are found in a family of diverse enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. This enzyme is an ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ADP-ribose to AMP and ribose-5-P. It requires divalent metal ions and an intact Nudix motif for enzymatic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4q22.1
Description of this Gene: nudix hydrolase 9
Type of Gene: protein-coding
