Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in adenosylhomocysteine nucleosidase activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the irreversible cleavage of the glycosidic bond in both 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) and S- adenosylhomocysteine (SAH/AdoHcy) to adenine and the corresponding thioribose, 5'-methylthioribose and S-ribosylhomocysteine, respectively. Can also use 5'-isobutylthioadenosine, 5'-n- butylthioadenosine, S-adenosyl-D-homocysteine, decarboxylated adenosylhomocysteine, deaminated adenosylhomocysteine and S-2-aza- adenosylhomocysteine as substrates
