M7GpppX diphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.59, DcpS, m7GpppX pyrophosphatase, m7GpppN m7GMP phosphohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name m7G5'ppp5'N m7GMP phosphohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) m7G5'ppp5'N(3'ppp5'N)n + H2O ⇌ 7-methylguanosine 5'-phosphate + pp5'N(3'ppp5'N)n (2) 7-methylguanosine 5'-diphosphate + H2O ⇌ 7-methylguanosine 5'-phosphate + phosphate

Decapping is a process in the control of eukaryotic mRNA degradation.
