Ecto-ATPases: identities and functions
L Plesner - International review of cytology, 1995 - Elsevier
Ecto-ATPases are ubiquitous in eukaryotic cells. They hydrolyze extracellular nucleoside tri-
and/or diphosphates, and, when isolated, they exhibit E-type ATPase activity,(that is, the
activity is dependent on Ca 2+ or Mg 2+, and it is insensitive to specific inhibitors of P-type, F-
type, and V-type ATPases; in addition, several nucleotide tri-and/or diphosphates are
hydrolysed, but nucleoside monophosphates and nonnucleoside phosphates are not
substrates). Ecto-ATPases are glycoproteins; they do not form a phosphorylated …
