Application
Apyrase is used to hydrolyze nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphates. For hydrolysis of organic di and triphosphates, the optimal pH is 6, and for inorganic substrates, the optimal pH is 5.1 Apyrase, from Sigma, has been used in inhibition studies of platelet-aggregation. The enzyme has been used to assess the possibility of ATP involvement in intestinal lamina propria Th17 cell differentiation.
At least two isoenzymes are found in different varieties of S. tuberosum: one with a high ATPase/ADPase ratio (∼10) and another with a low ratio (∼1).
Reaction: ATP → ADP+Pi → AMP+2Pi.
Reaction: ATP → ADP+Pi → AMP+2Pi.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Apyrase is found in all eukaryotes and some prokaryotes. Apyrase, from potato, has a crucial role in regulating growth and development. Apyrase is involved in the inactivation of synaptic ATP as a neurotransmitter following nerve stimulation and in the inhibition of ADP induced platelet aggregation to prevent thrombosis. Divalent metal ions are required for activity and best activity is observed with calcium ion at 5 mM. The molecular weight of the protein is found to be approximately 45 kDa.

This study tested the hypothesis that preactivated and disaggregated shape-changed platelet (PreD-SCP) therapy significantly protected rat kidney from ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Adult-male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 24) were equally categorized into Groups 1 (sham-operated control [SC]), 2 (SC + PreD-SCP)

Interleukin (IL)-17-producing CD4(+) T lymphocytes (T(H)17 cells) constitute a subset of T-helper cells involved in host defence and several immune disorders. An intriguing feature of T(H)17 cells is their selective and constitutive presence in the intestinal lamina propria. Here we

Nodulation in legumes requires the recognition of rhizobially made Nod factors. Genetic studies have revealed that the perception of Nod factors involves LysM domain receptor-like kinases, while biochemical approaches have identified LECTIN NUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHOHYDROLASE (LNP) as a Nod factor-binding protein.
