EC 3.1.3.35

Accepted name: thymidylate 5'-phosphatase

Reaction: thymidylate + H2O = thymidine + phosphate

Other name(s): thymidylate 5'-nucleotidase; deoxythymidylate 5'-nucleotidase; thymidylate nucleotidase; deoxythymidylic 5'-nucleotidase; deoxythymidylate phosphohydrolase; dTMPase

Systematic name: thymidylate 5'-phosphohydrolase

Comments: Acts on 5-methyl-dCMP and on TMP, but more slowly than on dTMP.
