Activity summary

NPP-7 also known as nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 7 is an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate-containing substrates. It has a molecular mass of approximately 125 kDa. This enzyme exhibits expression in several human tissues prominently in the intestinal tract and kidney. The enzyme's activity facilitates the breakdown of molecules serving roles in both digestion and cellular signaling processes.

Biological function summary

NPP-7 participates in lipid metabolism and contributes to maintaining homeostasis by degrading extracellular nucleotides. It forms part of larger protein complexes that regulate various cellular activities. Its enzymatic function is important for controlling the concentration of lipid-derived signaling molecules thereby impacting cellular communication and response mechanisms.

Pathways

NPP-7 integrates into the pathway regulating phospholipid metabolism and nucleotide salvage pathways. It interacts with proteins such as NPP-2 which are involved in similar metabolic processes ensuring balance in lipid signaling and energy storage within cells. Its function in these pathways highlights its role in modulating phospholipid levels and influencing liver function and cellular energy dynamics.

Associated diseases and disorders

NPP-7 relates to conditions such as metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. Dysregulation or altered expression of NPP-7 can affect lipid metabolism and kidney function contributing to these diseases. This protein interacts with other proteins including ENPP1 which ties into its involvement in disrupting normal cellular metabolism and exacerbating pathological states in these conditions.
