The ENPP2 protein also known as autotaxin (ATX) with a mass of approximately 102 kDa mainly manifests as a secreted enzyme with lysophospholipase D activity. ENPP2 or ATX-001 widely expresses in various tissues predominantly in the brain adipose tissue and placenta. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidylcholine to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and choline playing an important role in LPA signaling. ENPP2/ATX-001 is a valuable component in the study of lipid signaling pathways.
Biological function summary
ATX protein influences cell proliferation migration and survival. It does not operate as part of a complex but directly impacts the biological processes previously mentioned due to its enzymatic function. It acts significantly during embryonic development and wound healing. The products of its catalysis LPA engage in various signaling pathways essential for these processes.
Pathways
ENPP2 integrates into the lysophospholipid and phospholipase pathways. It plays an important role in the LPA receptor signaling pathway contributing to various physiological and pathological processes. Proteins related to ENPP2 through these pathways include LPA receptors such as LPAR1 and LPAR2 with which it interacts closely to mediate cell signaling roles and phospholipase A2 which provides substrate for its enzymatic activity.
ENPP2 links strongly with cancer and fibrotic diseases. Its enzymatic activity generates LPA which can enhance tumor progression by promoting cell proliferation and migration. This activity associates ENPP2 with oncogenic processes. Additionally LPA signaling stands connected to fibrotic disorders where it contributes to tissue remodeling and fibrosis. Its overactivity or dysregulation might result in such pathological states associating indirectly with growth factor proteins like TGFB1 which are involved in tissue fibrosis and cancer.
