EC 3.1.3.32     
Accepted name: polynucleotide 3′-phosphatase
Reaction: a 3′-phosphopolynucleotide + H2O = a polynucleotide + phosphate

Systematic name: polynucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase
Comments: Also hydrolyses nucleoside 2′-, 3′- and 5′-monophosphates, but only 2′- and 3′-phosphopolynucleotides.
