Purification, Cloning, and Expression of an Apyrase from the Bed Bug Cimex lectularius
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
An enzyme that hydrolyzes the phosphodiester bonds of nucleoside tri- and diphosphates, but not monophosphates, thus displaying apyrase (EC 3.6.1.5) activity, was purified from salivary glands of the bed bug, Cimex lectularius. The purified C. lectularius apyrase was an acidic protein with a pI of 5.1 and molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa that inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation and hydrolyzed...
