Summary

NT5C1A (5’-nucleotidase, cytosolic IA, HGNC:17819) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.2, encoding Cytosolic 5’-nucleotidase 1A (Q9BXI3). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of ribonucleotide and deoxyribonucleotide monophosphates, releasing inorganic phosphate and the corresponding nucleoside.

Cytosolic nucleotidases, such as NT5C1A, dephosphorylate nucleoside monophosphates (Hunsucker et al., 2001 [PubMed 11133996]).
