enzyme that regulates immune responses by breaking down ATP and ADP
CD39, also known as Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (ENTPD1), is an enzyme found on the surface of certain cells, including immune cells. It plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation and immune responses by breaking down ATP and ADP, which are molecules that can signal danger or damage in the body. This helps to control the activity of immune cells and maintain tissue homeostasis.
