InterPro domain: IPR040618

This domain is found just before the N-terminal region of nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety (Nudix) hydrolases ( IPR000086 ). Nudix hydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of nucleoside diphosphates which are often toxic metabolic intermediates and signalling molecules [ 1 ].
