Recombinant Human Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 5 (ENTPD5), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O75356

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ENTPD5

Target Full Name

Nucleoside diphosphate phosphatase ENTPD5

Target Function

Uridine diphosphatase (UDPase) that promotes protein N-glycosylation and ATP level regulation. UDP hydrolysis promotes protein N-glycosylation and folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, as well as elevated ATP consumption in the cytosol via an ATP hydrolysis cycle. Together with CMPK1 and AK1, constitutes an ATP hydrolysis cycle that converts ATP to AMP and results in a compensatory increase in aerobic glycolysis. The nucleotide hydrolyzing preference is GDP > IDP > UDP, but not any other nucleoside di-, mono- or triphosphates, nor thiamine pyrophosphate. Plays a key role in the AKT1-PTEN signaling pathway by promoting glycolysis in proliferating cells in response to phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum. Secreted.

Target Protein Families

GDA1/CD39 NTPase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in adult liver, kidney, prostate, testis and colon. Much weaker expression in other tissues.

Target Synonyms

ENTPD5; CD39L4; PCPH; Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 5; NTPDase 5; CD39 antigen-like 4; ER-UDPase; Guanosine-diphosphatase ENTPD5; GDPase ENTPD5; Nucleoside diphosphatase; Uridine-diphosphatase ENTPD5; UDPase ENTPD5

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is similar to E-type nucleotidases (NTPases)/ecto-ATPase/apyrases. NTPases, such as CD39, mediate catabolism of extracellular nucleotides. ENTPD5 contains 4 apyrase-conserved regions which is characteristic of NTPases.
