Abstract

The cDNA and derived amino acid sequence of human diadenosine 5',5'''-p1,p4-tetraphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase have been determined with the aid of the GenBank Expressed Sequence Tag database. This enzyme possesses a modification of the MutT sequence motif found in certain nucleotide pyrophosphatases. It is unrelated to the enzymes of diadenosine tetraphosphate catabolism found in prokaryotes and fungi.
