M7GpppN-mRNA hydrolase

M7GpppN-mRNA hydrolase (, DCP2, NUDT16, D10 protein, D9 protein, D10 decapping enzyme, decapping enzyme) is an enzyme with systematic name m7GpppN-mRNA m7GDP phosphohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

m7G5'ppp5'-mRNA + H<sub>2</sub>O m7GDP + 5'-phospho-mRNA

Decapping of mRNA is essential in eukaryotic mRNA turnover.
