Signal-recognition-particle GTPase (EC 3.6.5.4) is an enzyme with systematic name GTP phosphohydrolase (protein-synthesis-assisting).[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

GTP + H2O \rightleftharpoons GDP + phosphate

Enzyme activity is associated with the signal-recognition particle.
