Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond in the first two intermediates of riboflavin biosynthesis, which are highly reactive metabolites, yielding relatively innocuous products. Thus, can divert a surplus of harmful intermediates into relatively harmless products and pre-empt the damage these intermediates would otherwise do. Helps maintain flavin levels. May act on other substrates in vivo. Has no activity against GTP, nucleoside monophosphates or ADP-ribose (PubMed:25431972). Is Required for swarming motility (PubMed:17122336).
