Alternative splicing of human NT5E in cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma produces a negative regulator of ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73)

Alternative splicing of human NT5E generates CD73S, an endoplasmic reticulum–associated and dimerization-deficient glycoprotein that lacks enzymatic activity. CD73S functions as a negative regulator of canonical CD73 by promoting its proteasomal degradation, which may have significance in chronic li...
