CD39L1/ENTPD2

CD39L1, also known as ENTPD2 and NTPDase2, is an ectonucleotidase belonging to the CD39 family. It is found on the surface of vascular adventitial cells and accessory vascular cells . CD39L1 is a Ca2+ and Mg2+ dependent enzyme that hydrolyze ATP and other nucleotides to regulate purinergic neurotransmission. Hydrolyzes ADP only to a marginal extent. The order of activity with different substrates is ATP > GTP > CTP = ITP > UTP >> ADP = UDP. CD39L1 plays a role in regulating thrombosis and inflammation . It is considered to be a therapeutic target for thromboregulation and the treatment of vascular inflammation.
