UniProtKB description: Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond of commonly occurring purine and pyrimidine nucleosides into ribose and the base, but has a preference for inosine and uridine as substrates. Is not active on thymidine and 2'-deoxynucleosides. Functions in purine salvage from the blood of the host, a fundamental pathway since protozoan parasites such as C.fasciculata are incapable of de novo purine biosynthesis.
