In vertebrates ecto-5'-nucleotidase (e5NT) catalyzes the hydrolysis of extracellular AMP to adenosine and represents the major control point for extracellular adenosine levels. Due to its pivotal role for activation of P1 adenosine receptors, e5NT has emerged as an appealing drug target for treatment of inflammation, chronic pain, hypoxia, and cancer ...
