Gene nameENPP7
Protein nameEctonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family member 7 (E-NPP 7) (NPP-7) (EC 3.1.4.12) (Alkaline sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase) (Intestinal alkaline sphingomyelinase) (Alk-SMase)
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 7
SynonymsUNQ3077/PRO9912
DescriptionFUNCTION: Choline-specific phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin releasing the ceramide and phosphocholine and therefore is involved in sphingomyelin digestion, ceramide formation, and fatty acid (FA) absorption in the gastrointestinal tract . Has also phospholipase C activity and can also cleave phosphocholine from palmitoyl lyso-phosphatidylcholine and platelet-activating factor (PAF) leading to its inactivation . Does not have nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity . May promote cholesterol absorption by affecting the levels of sphingomyelin derived from either diet or endogenous sources, in the intestinal lumen (By similarity). .
