Nucleotides and cd39: Principal modulatory players in hemostasis and thrombosis

Nature Medicine volume 5, pages 987–988 (1999)Cite this article

Abstract

The generation of cd39–/– mice identifies CD39 as a chief vascular ecto-nucleotidase and affirms the importance of purinergic signaling in both hemostasis and thromboregulation (pages 1010–1017).
