Effect of human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) and ecto-5' nucleotidase (eN) in adenosine formation by neurons and astrocytes under ischemic conditions.
Adenosine (ADO) is an endogenous neuroprotectant. Under ischemic conditions ADO levels rise in the brain up to 100-fold. ADO in the brain is dependent on the movement across cell membranes by equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENT) or produced from membrane bound ecto-5’ nucleotidase (eN). W...
