anti- NT5E/CD73 antibody

Descripción

NT5E(5'-nucleotidase) is also named as NT5, NTE,CD73,ecto-5'-nucleotidase, and belongs to the 5'-nucleotidase family. It catalyzes the conversion at neutral pH of purine 5-prime mononucleotides to nucleosides, the preferred substrate being AMP.The enzyme occurs mainly as a dimer and the wide distribution of NT5E in the rat hippocampus, suggesting their involvement in the control of the purinergic signaling(PMID:17619139). This protein has two isoforms with the molecular weight of 63 kDa and 58 kDa and four glycosylation sites with a signalpeptide. It can exsit as a dimer(PMID:17619139). It can be detected the band of 55 kDa,64 kDa, 70 kDa, 110 kDa by western blot(PMID:17619139; 12370277; 21533188). Defects in NT5E are the cause of calcification of joints and arteries(CALJA).
