Recombinant Mouse 5'-Nucleotidase/NT5E/CD73 (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :58.8kD. Recombinant Mouse 5'-Nucleotidase is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Trp29-Phe550 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Mouse CD73 is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored membrane protein that belongs to the 5'-nucleotidase family. CD73 is an ecto 5'Nucleotidase expressed by most cell types. CD73 hydrolyzes extracellular nucleotides into membrane permeable nucleosides. 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. CD73 is also a regulator of leukocyte extravasation, a function that requires its 5'Nucleotidase activity.CD73 has also been reported to regulate expression of pro-inflammatory molecules in mouse endothelium.
