Gene: NUDT18

Alternate names for this Gene: MTH3

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Nudix hydrolase family. Nudix hydrolases eliminate potentially toxic nucleotide metabolites from the cell and regulate the concentrations and availability of many different nucleotide substrates, cofactors, and signaling molecules. This protein contains a Nudix hydrolase domain and hydrolyzes oxidized forms of guanosine and deoxyguanosine diphosphates.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8p21.3

Description of this Gene: nudix hydrolase 18

Type of Gene: protein-coding
