Background
This gene is a member of the ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP) family. The encoded protein is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein comprising two identical disulfide-bonded subunits. This protein has broad specificity and cleaves a variety of substrates, including phosphodiester bonds of nucleotides and nucleotide sugars and pyrophosphate bonds of nucleotides and nucleotide sugars. This protein may function to hydrolyze nucleoside 5' triphosphates to their corresponding monophosphates and may also hydrolyze diadenosine polyphosphates. Mutations in this gene have been associated with 'idiopathic' infantile arterial calcification, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL), and insulin resistance.

Function
catalytic activity:A dinucleotide + H(2)O = 2 mononucleotides.,catalytic activity:Hydrolytically removes 5'-nucleotides successively from the 3'-hydroxy termini of 3'-hydroxy-terminated oligonucleotides.,caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-53 is the initiator.,cofactor:Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit.,disease:Defects in ENPP1 are a cause of idiopathic infantile arterial calcification (IIAC) [MIM:208000]; also called generalized arterial calcification of infancy. IIAC is characterized by calcification of the internal elastic lamina of muscular arteries and stenosis due to myointimal proliferation.,disease:Defects in ENPP1 are a cause of increased susceptibility for ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL) [MIM:602475]. OPLL is a common form of human myelopathy with a prevalence of as much as 4% in a variety of ethnic groups.,disease:Defec
