Product overview
5’-Nucleotidase (CD73) Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab235945) is a simple two-step end-point assay for the measurement of 5’-Nucleotidase activity in various tissues/cells. This assay relies on the Berthelot’s test for quantification of ammonia.
In this assay, the action of 5’-nucleotidase on the substrate generates a product, which releases ammonia in presence of the converter. Developer I and II are then used to quantify the released ammonia through increase in absorbance at 670 nm.
This assay can detect as low as 0.2 mU of 5’-NT. Since non-specific enzymes like alkaline phosphatase can give a positive signal in this assay, 5’-NT inhibitor may be used to completely inhibit 5’-nucleotidase and distinguish from the signal from non-specific enzymes.
The assay kit also includes 5’- Nucleotidase (5’-NT) enzyme for use as positive control.

Hydrolyzes extracellular nucleotides into membrane permeable nucleosides. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in NT5E are the cause of calcification of joints and arteries (CAJA) [MIM:211800]. A condition characterized by adult-onset calcification of the lower extremity arteries, including the iliac, femoral and tibial arteries, and hand and foot capsule joints. Age of onset has been reported as early as the second decade of life, usually involving intense joint pain or calcification in the hands. -
