ENPP5 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein. Studies in rat suggest the encoded protein may play a role in neuronal cell communications. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human ENPP5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- alkaline phosphatases and sulfatases
- Type I phosphodiesterase / nucleotide pyrophosphatase
- NAD+ diphosphatase
- zinc ion binding
- nucleotide diphosphatase
