| Type: | Family | Name: | Non-canonical purine NTP pyrophosphatase |
| Description: | This entry represents a family of nucleoside-triphosphatases that hydrolyse non-standard nucleotides such as deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) and xanthosine triphosphate (XTP). It has been suggested that they may function as part of a preemptive DNA repair system by excluding non-standard purines from DNA precursor pool, thus preventing their incorporation into DNA and avoiding chromosomal lesions []. | Short Name: | NTPase |
