Description
NT5C2, also known as NT5B or PNT5, has an essential role in the maintenance of purine/pyrimidine nucleotides. It contains a phosphotransferase active site that catalyzes the dephosphorylation of 6-hydroxypurine nucleoside 5'-monophosphates. In addition, it regulates the level of inosine monophosphate (IMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) pools within cells via hydrolysis. Recombinant human NT5C2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography
