The gene nt5m encodes a 5'-nucleotidase enzyme. This ecto-5'-nucleotidase protein is localized to the plasma membrane and functions to hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides like AMP, producing adenosine. It is involved in purinergic signaling pathways. Expression is detected in the brain, eye, otic vesicle, pronephros, and branchial arches during development. [-]
