CD39L1/ENTPD2: Proteins and Enzymes

CD39L1, also known as ENTPD2 and NTPDase2, is an ectonucleotidase belonging to the CD39 family. It is found on the surface of vascular adventitial cells and accessory vascular cells. CD39L1 is a Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ dependent enzyme that activates platelets by preferentially converting ATP to ADP. CD39L1 plays a role in regulating thrombosis and inflammation. It is considered to be a therapeutic target for thromboregulation and the treatment of vascular inflammation.
