5'-Nucleotidase (NT5E) Active Protein

CD73, an ecto-5'-Nucleotidase, is an ectoenzyme expressed by most cell types. The 5'-Nucleotidase activity of CD73 converts extracellular nucleoside-5'-monophosphates to nucleosides, with AMP as the preferred substrate. CD73 is one of several enzymes responsible for the production of extracellular adenosine, a signaling molecule that is involved in responses to inflammation and tissue injury. CD73 is a lymphocyte maturation marker that has functions independent of its catalytic activity. These functions include the adhesion of B-cells to follicular dendritic cells and T-cell signaling CD73 is also a regulator of leukocyte extravasation, a function that requires its 5'-Nucleotidase activity. The native enzyme is a homodimer bound to the cell membrane through a glycosyl phophatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. This recombinant human CD73 is truncated at the C-terminus, and lacks the GPI modification site. The recombinant CD73 is therefore secreted as a monomer.

Recombinant protein corresponding to Trp27-Lys547, with a C-terminal 6-His tag from human 5'-Nucleotidase expressed in CHO cells (AAH65937).

Small volumes of Nt5e active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS635626 is an active protein targeting Nt5e. Also known as 5'-Nucleotidase, Recombinant, Human (CD73, 5'-nucleotidase, ecto). Host: CHO cells.
