Function
- in the nervous system, could hydrolyze ATP & other nucleotides to regulate purinergic neurotransmission
- hydrolyzes ADP only to a marginal extent
- the order of activity with different substrates is ATP > GTP > CTP = ITP > UTP >> ADP = UDP
Structure
belongs to the GDA1/CD39 NTPase family
Compartment
membrane (potential)
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2; long, short
Expression
- brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, heart, ovary, testis, colon, small intestine, prostate & pancreas
- no expression in adult thymus, spleen, lung, liver & peripheral blood leukocytes
