CD73 (ecto-5'nucleotidase, 5-prime-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, NT5E)

Function: - catalyzes conversion of purine 5-prime mononucleotides to nucleosides at neutral pH - hydrolyzes extracellular nucleotides into membrane permeable nucleosides Cofactor: Zn+2 Compartment: cell membrane, lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor Expression: - B-cell & T-cell subsets - endothelial cells - follicular dendritic cells - epithelial cells Pathology: - decreased activity in B cell CLL - high levels poor prognostic factor in leukemias/lymphomas Note: - marker of lymphocytic differentiation - other forms of 5'nucleotidases exist in cytoplasm & lysosomes & can be distinguished by substrate affinities
