The protein encoded by the NT5E gene is a plasma membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of extracellular nucleotides to membrane-permeable nucleosides. The encoded protein is used as a determinant of lymphocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene can lead to the calcification of joints and arteries. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [RefSeq]

Optimal dilution of the CD73 antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

A recombinant full length human NT5E protein was used as the immunogen for the CD73 antibody.

Store the CD73 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
