Disease

ENPP1_HUMAN Defects in ENPP1 are a cause of increased susceptibility for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL) [MIM:602475. OPLL is a common form of human myelopathy with a prevalence of as much as 4% in a variety of ethnic groups.^[1] Defects in ENPP1 are the cause of arterial calcification of infancy, generalized, type 1 (GACI1) [MIM:208000. A severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by calcification of the internal elastic lamina of muscular arteries and stenosis due to myointimal proliferation. The disorder is often fatal within the first 6 months of life because of myocardial ischemia resulting in refractory heart failure.^{[2] [3] [4] [5]} Defects in ENPP1 are associated with obesity, glucose intolerance, and type II diabetes non-insulin dependent (NIDDM) [MIM:125853.^[6] Defects in ENPP1 are the cause of rickets hypophosphatemic autosomal recessive type 2 (ARHR2) [MIM:613312. ARHR2 is a hereditary form of hypophosphatemic rickets, a disorder of proximal renal tubule function that causes phosphate loss, hypophosphatemia and skeletal deformities, including rickets and osteomalacia unresponsive to vitamin D. Symptoms are bone pain, fractures and growth abnormalities.^{[7] [8]}

Function

ENPP1_HUMAN Involved primarily in ATP hydrolysis at the plasma membrane. Plays a role in regulating pyrophosphate levels, and functions in bone mineralization and soft tissue calcification. In vitro, has a broad specificity, hydrolyzing other nucleoside 5' triphosphates such as GTP, CTP, TTP and UTP to their corresponding monophosphates with release of pyrophosphate and diadenosine polyphosphates, and also 3',5'-cAMP to AMP. May also be involved in the regulation of the availability of nucleotide sugars in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi, and the regulation of purinergic signaling. Appears to modulate insulin sensitivity.^[9]
