Enzyme Information

3.5.4.29
GTP cyclohydrolase IIa.
based on mapping to UniProt Q57609
GTP + 3 H(2)O = 2-amino-5-formylamino-6-(5-phospho-D- ribosylamino)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one + 2 phosphate.
-!- This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of the imidazole ring of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, N(7)-methylguanosine 5'-triphosphate or inosine 5'-triphosphate. -!- Xanthosine 5'-triphosphate and ATP are not substrates. -!- It also catalyzes the hydrolysis of diphosphate to form two equivalents of phosphate. -!- Unlike EC 3.5.4.25, this enzyme does not release formate, but does hydrolyze the diphosphate from GTP to phosphate.
