Abstract

Background: E-NTPase/E-NTPDase is activated by millimolar concentrations of Ca2+ or Mg2+ with a pH optimum of 7.5 for the hydrolysis of extracellular NTP and NDP. It has been generally accepted that E-NTPase/E-NTPDase plays regulatory role in purinergic signalling, but other functions may yet be discovered.

Results: In this article it is proposed on the basis of published data that E-NTPase/E-NTPDase could play a role in the influx and efflux of Ca2+and Mg2+ in vivo.

Conclusions: Attenuation of extracellular Ca2+ influx by rat cardiac sarcoplasmic anti-E-NTPase antibodies and oligomerization studies on mammalian CD39 conclusively point towards the existence of a new channel in the membrane. Further studies on these properties of the E-NTPase/E-NTPDase may provide detailed mechanisms and identify the potential patho-physiological significance.
