Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.1.1)
Enables IMP 5'-nucleotidase activity. Involved in allantoin metabolic process and nucleoside monophosphate catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within deoxyribonucleotide catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and thymus. Orthologous to human NT5C (5', 3'-nucleotidase, cytosolic).
