Description
Product Characteristics:
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.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: PCPH, CD39L4, NTPDase-5, Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 5, NTPDase 5, CD39 antigen-like 4, ER-UDPase, Guanosine-diphosphatase ENTPD5, GDPase ENTPD5, Nucleoside diphosphatase, Uridine-diphosphatase ENTPD5, UDPase ENTPD5, ENTPD5
Target Information: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
