The ATP-Hydrolyzing Ectoenzyme E-NTPD8 Attenuates Colitis through Modulation of P2X4 Receptor–Dependent Metabolism in Myeloid Cells

The molecular mechanism by which microbiota-derived ATP in the colon is regulated remains poorly understood. Researchers showed that E-NTPD8 was highly expressed in large-intestinal epithelial cells and hydrolyzed microbiota-derived luminal ATP.
