Cytosolic 7-methylguanosine phosphate-specific 5'-nucleotidase (NT5C3B) specifically hydrolyses N(7)-methylguanosine monophosphate (7MGMP) to 7-methylguanosine (7MG) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). 7MGP is a modified nucleotide byproduct of mRNA turnover and requires degradation as its incorporation into nucleic acids is undesirable (Buschmann et al. 2013).
