ENPP7

protein-coding

ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 7, the group of Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase family

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an intestinal alkaline sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase that converts sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphocholine. The encoded protein is anchored in the cell membrane, and it may function to protect the intestinal mucosa from inflammation and tumorigenesis. This protein is glycosylated and also exhibits lysophosphatidylcholine hydrolase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_178543.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide and phosphocholine (PubMed:12885774, PubMed:12671034, PubMed:15205117, PubMed:28292932). Has also phospholipase C activity and can cleave phosphocholine from palmitoyl lyso-phosphatidylcholine (PubMed:12885774). Does not have nucleotide pyrophosphatase activity (PubMed:12885774). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12671034, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12885774, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15205117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28292932}.;
