Localization of Nucleoside Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolase-1 (NTPDase1) and NTPDase2 in Pancreas and Salivary Gland

Abstract: S U M M A R YEctonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases) are membrane-bound ectoenzymes that hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides. We investigated the distribution of NTPDase1 and NTPDase2 in murine salivary gland and pancreas. Histochemistry and immunostaining (by both light and electron microscopy), combined with functional assays, were used to describe the localization patterns and enzyme activities in the organs of wild-type and NTPDase1/cd39-null mice. Pancreatic acinar cells and salivary gl… Show more

“…In human pancreas, immuno-and histochemistry indicate that active NTPDase 1 (CD39) is not detected in acini or ducts (26). In recent studies on pancreatic tissue from mice, ATPase and ADPase activities determined by inorganic phosphate assays were significantly lower in CD39Ϫ/Ϫ mice when compared with control mice (17). Immuno-and histochemistry revealed that acini and ducts express both CD39 and CD39L1, i.e.…”

“…Furthermore, the TMDs of human NTPDase1 are important for folding and sorting as well as for optimal enzymatic activity and activation by cholesterol [127]. While NTPDase1 has been found to be localized in the apical as well as basolateral surface [95,[128][129][130], when expressed in the polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, it is targeted to the apical side of the membrane. The N-terminal TMD contains an apical targeting signal; however, neither the N-nor the C-terminal domain was required for apical targeting, suggesting that an additional targeting signal is located at the ectodomain.…”
