DGTPase

The enzyme dGTPase (EC 3.1.5.1)^[1][2] catalyzes the reaction

dGTP + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 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.
