Polynucleotide 3'-phosphatase


The enzyme polynucleotide 3′-phosphatase catalyzes the reaction
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is polynucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include 2′-polynucleotidase, DNA 3′-phosphatase, deoxyribonucleate 3′-phosphatase, and 5′-polynucleotidekinase 3′-phosphatase.
