NUDT5 (Nudix, nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X-type motif 5) is an ADP-ribose pyrophosphatase (ADPRase) consisting of an N-terminal domain with three-stranded antiparallel ß-sheet named ß1, ß2, and ß3, the catalytic Nudix domain, and an extended C-terminal a-helix domain. It is a novel member of the Nudix hydrolase superfamily and exists as a homodimer.
Synonyms: Anti-ADP-sugar pyrophosphatase; Anti-Nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X motif 5; Anti-Nudix motif 5; Anti-YSA1H

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: NUDT5 (Nudix, nucleoside diphosphate linked moiety X-type motif 5) is mainly involved in maintaining the intracellular level of ADP-ribose by hydrolyzing ADP-ribose (ADPR) to AMP and ribose 5'-phosphate. It also restricts non-enzymatic ADP-ribosylation. Its N-terminal antiparallel ß-sheet plays an important role in dimerization, which is essential for substrate recognition and enzymatic activity. NUDT5 also has been predicted for altered cell proliferation. It has been suggested that suppressed NUDT5 cell shows delayed cell cycle G1 phase. Thus, it has been concluded that NUDT5 may be involved in cell growth and cell cycle proliferation by regulating G1-S transition in mammalian cells.
