| GO term: | nuclease activity |
| GO id: | GO:0004518 |
| Definition: | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids. |
| Comments | Note that 'tRNA nucleotidyltransferase activity ; GO:0009022', also known as 'ribonuclease PH', does not have parentage in the 'nuclease activity' branch of the ontology because both GO and the Enzyme Commission define nuclease activity as a type of hydrolysis. |
| Number of paths to term: | 1 |
denotes an 'is-a' relationship
denotes a 'part-of' relationship
denotes a 'regulates' relationship
denotes a 'positively-regulates' relationship
denotes a 'negatively-regulates' relationship
