Human ENPP-2/Autotaxin Quantikine ELISA Kit Summary
Background
The Quantikine Human ENPP-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human ENPP-2 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, urine, and human milk. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human ENPP-2 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human ENPP-2 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curv...es obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human ENPP-2.

Background
ENPP-2, also known as Autotaxin, belongs to the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP) family. Some NPPs hydrolyze phosphates from nucleotides and their derivatives. ENPP-2 shares 40 - 50% identity to ENPP1 & 3, all of which contain a N-terminal intracellular domain, a single transmembrane domain and a large extracellular domain that includes a catalytic domain, two somatomedin-B-like domains, and a C-terminal nuclease-like domain. Unlike ENPP-1 and ENPP-3, ENPP-2 has weak activity against nucleotides, but exhibits a lysophospholipase D activity which allows the formation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and choline from lysophosphatidylcholine. The hydrolysis of nucleotides and lysophospholipids by ENPP-2 is mediated by a single catalytic site. Evidence shows LPA and sphingosine 1-phosphate to be specific inhibitors of ENPP-2. ENPP-2 was originally found to stimulate tumor cell motility and has since been found to enhance tumor invasion and metastasis and to be up-regulated in several types of carcinomas including breast and lung.
