CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	bounds by a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol linkage to the external face of the plasma membrane
	expressed on normal and neoplastic glial plasma membranes (Ludwig et al, 1999)

basic FUNCTION	cell surface enzyme of the purine catabolic pathway that catalyzes the breakdown of AMP to adenosine
	hydrolyzing extracellular nucleotides into membrane permeable nucleosides
	may facilitate the adhesion, migration and invasion of human breast cancer cells through its enzyme activity of generating adenosine
	required for the efficient entry of lymphocytes into the CNS during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis development
	novel and specific receptor for tenascin C and the interaction between these proteins may influence cell adhesion and migration and also lead to decreased generation of local adenosine (Sadej 2008)
	a signalling pathway metabolite in the immune response of lymphocytes
	a cell surface marker of cone/rod common precursors and mature rod cells genetically localized between Nrl and Crx (Koso 2009)
	extracellular adenosine, generated in tandem by ecto-enzymes ENTPD1 and NT5E, promotes dermal fibrogenesis
	ENTPD1, NT5E are two ectonucleotidases that cooperate in the generation of extracellular adenosine through ATP hydrolysis, thus tilting the balance towards immunosuppressive microenvironments

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	catalyzes the conversion at neutral pH of purine 5-prime mononucleotides to nucleosides

PATHWAY

metabolism

purine/pyrimidine

signaling

nucleotide

a component	glycoprotein constituent of membrane (Pi linked)
	component of multiresistance machinery, the transcription of which is activated under selective pressure of the immune system (Ludwig et al, 1999)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	cofactor,
	zinc

protein

intracellular filamentous actin and the extracellular matrix proteins laminin and fibronectin (Ludwig et al, 1999)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73-deficient mice have a significantly reduced fall in stop flow pressure and superficial nephron glomerular filtration rate in response to a saturating increase of tubular perfusion flow (Castrop et al, 2004)
