This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad family of pyrophosphatases that removes short mRNA fragments containing the 5' mRNA cap structure, which appear in the 3' -> 5' mRNA decay pathway, following deadenylation and exosome-mediated turnover. This enzyme hydrolyzes the triphosphate linkage of the cap structure (7-methylguanosine nucleoside triphosphate) to yield 7-methylguanosine monophosphate and nucleoside diphosphate. It protects the cell from the potentially toxic
