5'-Nucleotidase

The NT5E gene encodes a membrane protein that synthesizes the conversion of extracellular nucleotides to membrane permeable nucleotides, which is important to signal transduction. Mutations cause autosomal recessive calcification of joints and arteries. Moreover it seems to play a role in calciphylaxis.
