NCIt definition : Cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase 1A (368 aa, 41 kDa) is encoded by the human NT5C1A gene.
This protein plays a role in the hydrolysis of ribonucleoside and deoxyribonucleoside
monophosphates.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An antigen encoded by the NT5C1A gene and is involved in the dephosphorylation
of nucleotides to nucleosides. It can be considered as an autoantigen and is commonly
associated with autoimmune disease sporadic inclusion body myositis.;
NCIt note : Cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase 1A preferentially catalyzes the removal of the phosphate
group from AMP, dCMP and IMP. (UniProt);
