Abstract excerpt
The ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (E-NTPDase-1, CD39) enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of extracellular ATP to ADP and then to AMP by a two-step process. Defective CD39 activity has been described in a variety of medical conditions including malignancy and rheumatic diseases and has been proved to be of major diagnostic and clinical importance. Here we show for the first time that a 31P...
