Function
[Q9SIY3_ARATH] Involved in the hydrolysis of the beta-gamma-phosphoanhydride linkage of triphosphate-containing substrates (inorganic or nucleoside-linked). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of inorganic triphosphate (PPPi), however it does not display significant activity towards long-chain polyphosphates. The existence of PPPi in living cells is still unclear, and PPPase activity might be the ancestral function of CYTH domain. It also has gamma-phosphatase activity on NTP substrates, but no adenylate cyclase or RNA triphosphatase activity.[1]
