Purine nucleoside phosphorylase
2.4.2.1
, also called inosine phosphorylase (pnp), catalyses the cleavage of the glycosidic bond of ribo- and deoxyribonucleosides in the presence of orthophospate
[1]
. It is specific for guanosine, inosine and adenosine and cleavage results in formation of their respective bases and ribose phosphate molecules. Together with adenosine deanimase,
IPR006330
, purine nucleoside phophorylase is responsible for purine catabolism as part of the salvage pathway of nucleotides and nucleosides.
