Abstract excerpt
Inherited pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase type I (P5'N-1) deficiency is the third most common erythrocyte enzymopathy that causes hemolysis. Fourteen different mutations have been identified to date. We have investigated the molecular bases of the disease by studying the biochemical properties of the recombinant wild-type human enzyme and 4 variant proteins (D87V, L131P, N179S, and G230R) bearing missense mutations...
