The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-ENPP2 antibody has been validated for WB, ELISA, IHC and IP. It is suitable to detect ENPP2 in samples from Human, Mouse and Rat.
Synonyms:ATX, ATX X, Autotaxin, E NPP 2, ENPP2, FLJ26803, LysoPLD, PD IALPHA, PDNP2 Background:Hydrolyzes lysophospholipids to produce lysophosphatidic acid(LPA) in extracellular fluids. Major substrate is lysophosphatidylcholine. Also can act on sphingosylphosphphorylcholine producing sphingosine-1-phosphate, a modulator of cell motility. Can hydrolyze, in vitro, bis-pNPP, to some extent pNP-TMP, and barely ATP. Involved in several motility-related processes such as angiogenesis and neurite outgrowth. Acts as an angiogenic factor by stimulating migration of smooth muscle cells and microtubule formation. Stimulates migration of melanoma cells, probably via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. May have a role in induction of parturition. Possible involvement in cell proliferation and adipose tissue development. Tumor cell motility-stimulating factor.
