Anti-ENTPD5 Monoclonal Antibody

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to E-type nucleotidases (NTPases)/ecto-ATPase/apyrases. NTPases, such as CD39, mediate catabolism of extracellular nucleotides. ENTPD5 contains 1 apyrase-conserved regions which is characteristic of NTPases. Protein function: Hydrolyzes nucleoside diphosphates with a preference for GDP, IDP and UDP compared to ADP and CDP (PubMed:10400613, PubMed:15698960). In the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, hydrolyzes UDP that acts as an end-product feedback inhibitor of the UDP-Glc:glycoprotein glucosyltransferases. UMP can be transported back by an UDP-sugar antiporter to the cytosol where it is consumed to regenerate UDP- glucose. Therefore, it positively regulates protein reglucosylation by clearing UDP from the ER lumen and by promoting the regeneration of UDP-glucose. Protein reglucosylation is essential to proper glycoprotein folding and quality control in the ER. [The UniProt Consortium]
