Inactivation of Membrane Surface Ecto-5′-nucleotidase by Sodium Nitroprusside in C6 Glioma Cells

Abstract.: Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (NT5E), a predominant enzyme that produces extracellular adenosine from AMP, plays an important role in a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. This study was performed to identify agents that affect NT5E activity using C6 glioma cells. When cells...
