Name the enzyme responsible for the removal of 5-phosphate group from nucleic acid

Alkaline phosphatase is purified from either E. Coli or higher organisms (e.g. calf intestine). It is used for removal of 5′-phosphate groups from nucleic acids in order to prevent re circularization of DNA vectors in cloning experiments. Alkaline phosphatase does not hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds.
