Ecto‐ATP diphosphohydrolase/CD39 is overexpressed in differentiated human melanomas
3 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Ecto-ATPase activities of melanocytes and human melanoma cell lines differing in the stage of progression were compared. A dramatic increase in ecto-ATPase activity above the level of normal melanocytes was demonstrated in the differentiated melanomas and was followed by a gradual decrease with tumor progression. The characteristics of this enzymatic activity were consistent with CD39/ecto-ATP diphosphohydrolase...
