Biological function summary
The enzyme plays an important role in purinergic signaling by controlling concentrations of ATP and ADP in the extracellular environment. NTPDase 8 is not part of a complex but interacts widely in tissue-specific manners. Its activity influences important physiological processes such as inflammation and thromboregulation. By modulating nucleotide levels it affects the signaling pathways involved in these biological processes having a direct impact on cellular communication and homeostasis.
Pathways
NTPDase 8 features prominently in the purinergic signaling pathway and the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis pathway. It is related to other NTPDase family members like NTPDase 1 and NTPDase 2 through its shared role in these pathways. NTPDase 8's enzymatic actions reduce extracellular ATP levels and correspondingly raise adenosine concentrations influencing signaling and responses within the cell particularly in immune and nervous system pathways.

General info
Function
Canalicular ectonucleoside NTPDase responsible for the main hepatic NTPDase activity (PubMed : 17095758). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) and diphosphates (NDPs) (PubMed : 16752921, PubMed : 17095758, PubMed : 17603550). The enzyme sequentially removes phosphate groups in two successive steps, converting NTPs to nucleoside monophosphates (NMPs) via NDP intermediates (PubMed : 16752921, PubMed : 17095758, PubMed : 17603550). This activity contributes to the regulation of extracellular levels of nucleotides (PubMed : 16752921, PubMed : 17095758, PubMed : 17603550). Hydrolyzes ATP, UTP, ADP, and UDP and prefers triphosphonucleosides and adenine over uracil as substrates (PubMed : 17095758). Does not hydrolyzes AMP (PubMed : 17095758).
