diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase,
diadenosine 5′,5′′′-P1,P4-tetraphosphatase,
diadenosinetetraphosphatase (symmetrical),
1-P,4-P-bis(5′-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphate nucleosidebisphosphohydrolase
Systematic name
P1,P4-bis(5′-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphate nucleosidebisphosphohydrolase
CAS registry number

Comment
Also acts on bis(5′-guanosyl) tetraphosphate and bis(5′-adenosyl) pentaphosphate and, more slowly, on some other polyphosphates, forming a nucleoside bisphosphate as one product in all cases [cf. EC 3.6.1.17 bis(5′-nucleosyl)-tetraphosphatase (asymmetrical)].
