Ectonucleotidase activities in Sertoli cells from immature rats

Ectonucleotidase activities in Sertoli cells from immature rats

Sertoli cells have been shown to be targets for extracellular purines such as ATP and adenosine. These purines evoke responses in Sertoli cells through two subtypes of purinoreceptors, P2Y2 and P A1. The signals to purinoreceptors are usually terminated by the action of ectonucleotidases. To demonst...
