GlossaryCD73

enzyme converting extracellular AMP to adenosine, impacting inflammation

CD73, also known as ecto-5'-nucleotidase, is an enzyme found on the surface of many cell types. It plays a crucial role in the immune system by converting extracellular AMP (adenosine monophosphate) into adenosine, which has anti-inflammatory effects. This enzyme is significant in various physiological processes, including tissue protection and repair, and is being studied for its potential role in cancer and autoimmune diseases.
