A rare mutation (p.F149del) of the NT5C3A gene is associated with pyrimidine 5'-nucleotidase deficiency. [PDF]
Pyrimidine 5′-nucleotidase deficiency is a rare erythrocyte enzymopathy. Here we report two cases of hemolytic anemia in brothers of Polish origin that are associated with a very rare mutation.

Transcriptional and Metabolic Investigation in 5'-Nucleotidase Deficient Cancer Cell Lines. [PDF]
Enzymes of nucleoside and nucleotide metabolism regulate important cellular processes with potential impacts on nucleotide-unrelated parameters. We have used a set of CRISPR/Cas9-modified cell models expressing both, one, or none of the 5′-nucleotidases ...

Targeted deletion of ecto-5'-nucleotidase results in retention of inosine monophosphate content in postmortem muscle of medaka (Oryzias latipes). [PDF]
Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is an important indicator of meat freshness and contributes to its umami taste. An attractive strategy for enhancing umami is to suppress the IMP-degrading activity and increase the IMP content in the skeletal muscle through ...

Lack of Ecto-5'-Nucleotidase Protects Sensitized Mice against Allergen Challenge. [PDF]
Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73), the ectoenzyme that together with CD39 is responsible for extracellular ATP hydrolysis and adenosine accumulation, regulates immune/inflammatory processes by controlling innate and acquired immunity cell functions.

5'-Nucleotidase Plays a Key Role in Uric Acid Metabolism of Bombyx mori. [PDF]
Uric acid (UA) is the end-product in the human purine metabolism pathway. The UA that accumulates in silkworm tissues is excreted as a nitrogen waste product.

New Method for 5'-Nucleotidase Preparation and Evaluation of Its Catalytic Activity. [PDF]
In this study, we established a new methodology for preparing 5′−nucleotidase (5′−NT) with the aim of enhancing our understanding of its enzyme activity and laying a basis for regulating the content of umami−enhancing nucleotides in pork.

Ecto-5'-Nucleotidase (CD73) Regulates the Survival of CD8+ T Cells. [PDF]
Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) is an enzyme present on the surface of tumor cells whose primary described function is the production of extracellular adenosine. Due to the immunosuppressive properties of adenosine, CD73 is being investigated as a target for
