3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase

The enzyme 3′(2′),5′-bisphosphate nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.7) catalyzes the reaction

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is adenosine-3′(2′),5′-bisphosphate 3′(2′)-phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include phosphoadenylate 3′-nucleotidase, 3′-phosphoadenylylsulfate 3′-phosphatase, and 3′(2′),5′-bisphosphonucleoside 3′(2′)-phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in sulfur metabolism.
