Hydrolysis of the Triphosphate Derivatives as Substrates of Rat NTPDase1 (Ectoapyrase) and NTPDase2 (Ecto-ATPase) Stably Expressed in CHO Cells
substrate | activitya (%)

---|---|---|
NTPDase1 | NTPDase2 | |
ATP | 100 | 100 |
6a, (N)-methanocarba-ATP39 | 52 | 4 |
6c, (S)-(±)-methanocarba-ATP39 | 57 | 34 |
The hydrolysis rate with the two derivatives as substrate is compared to that of ATP (100%) for each enzyme. Values are means of two experiments with duplicate determinations in each. Nontransfected CHO cells were analyzed as control. They contained no significant activity for the extracellular hydrolysis of ATP. 100% values correspond to the following: NTPDase1, 42.1 nmol/(min 106 cells); NTPDase2, 13.5 nmol/(min 106 cells).
