Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables IMP 5'-nucleotidase activity. Involved in allantoin metabolic process; amide catabolic 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).
