Background
Cytosolic 5-prime nucleotidases, such as NT5C1B, catalyze production of adenosine, which regulates diverse physiologic processes (Sala-Newby and Newby, 2001 [PubMed 11690631]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],catalytic activity:A 5'-ribonucleotide + H(2)O = a ribonucleoside + phosphate.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activated by ADP.,function:Dephosphorylates the 5' and 2'(3')-phosphates of deoxyribonucleotides. Helps to regulate adenosine levels.,function:Exhibits an oxidoreductive catalytic activity towards retinoids. Most efficient as an NADPH-dependent retinal reductase. Displays high activity toward 9-cis and all-trans-retinol. No steroid dehydrogenase activity detected.,similarity:Belongs to the 5'-nucleotidase type 3 family.,similarity:Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in brain, kidney, pancreas and placenta.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in testis, placenta and pancreas. Detected at lower levels in heart, kidney, liver and lung.,
