Template:Infobox enzyme M7GpppN-mRNA hydrolase (Template:EC number, DCP2, NUDT16, D10 protein, D9 protein, D10 decapping enzyme, decapping enzyme) is an enzyme with systematic name m7GpppN-mRNA m7GDP phosphohydrolase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- m7G5'ppp5'-mRNA + H2O m7GDP + 5'-phospho-mRNA
Decapping of mRNA is essential in eukaryotic mRNA turnover.
