Enpp6

This gene encodes a member of the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family of enzymes that play an important role in regulating extracellular nucleotide metabolism. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein that hydrolyzes choline-containing lysophospholipids such as glycerophosphocholine. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop fatty liver and myelin sheath abnormalities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

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 mouse Enpp6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
