Function
- hydrolyzes preferentially nucleoside 5'-diphosphates,
- nucleoside 5'-triphosphates are hydrolyzed only to a minor extent
- the order of activity with different substrates is: UDP >> GDP = CDP = TDP
- AMP, ADP, ATP & UMP are not substrates
- preferred substrates for isoform 2 are CTP, UDP, CDP, GTP & GDP
- isoform 1 utilizes UTP & TTP
- Ca+2, Mg+2
- isoform 1 requires Ca+2 & to a lesser extent, Mg+2
- isoform 2 is equally dependent on Ca+2 & Mg+2
Structure
belongs to the GDA1/CD39 NTPase family
Compartment
- multi-pass membrane protein
- Golgi membrane (putative)
- cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome membrane
- localizes in the Golgi & autophagic vacuoles/lysosomes
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2
Expression
- ubiquitous
- highest expression in testis
- lowest expression in bladder
