'''Nucleoside triphosphatase''' or '''nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase''' (NTPase) is responsible for degradation of nucleotides to their monophosphate form.  NTPase is found in mammals and in pathogenic microbes.  In mammals NTPase hs a crucial role in regulation of purinergic signalling by hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides.  The function of NTPase in pathogens is still unknown<ref>PMID:21638687</ref>.
