DGTPase

The enzyme dGTPase (EC 3.1.5.1) catalyzes the reaction


 * dGTP + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ deoxyguanosine + triphosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on triphosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name is dGTP triphosphohydrolase. Other names in common use include deoxy-GTPase, deoxyguanosine 5-triphosphate triphosphohydrolase, deoxyguanosine triphosphatase, and deoxyguanosine triphosphate triphosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
