NADH pyrophosphatase, also known as NUDIX (nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X)) motif 13/Nudt13, is thought to have NADH pyrophosphatase activity, be involved in NADH metabolic process and NADP catabolic process, catalyzing the cleavage of NADH into reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH) and AMP, and located in mitochondrion. Like other members of the NUDIX family, it requires a divalent cation, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for activity. Members of this family are also recognized by the NUDIX motif, a highly conserved 23-residue block (GX5EX7REUXEEXGU, where U = I, L or V), that functions as a metal binding and catalytic site. A block of 8 conserved amino acids downstream of the NUDIX motif is thought to give NADH pyrophosphatase its specificity for NADH. NADH pyrophosphatase forms a dimer.
