polymorphisms of NPP1 is associated with the aetiology of insulin resistance, does not affect the dimerization or catalytic activity of NPP1 and does not endow NPP1 with an affinity for the insulin receptor
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation increases the relative enzyme activity against adenosine 5'-monophosphate-containing substrates, although the overall enzyme activity of the mutant enzyme decreases compared to the wild-type
chimera of enzyme catalytic domain fused to the N- and C-terminal domains of rat NPP2, a lysophospholipase D enzyme. Chimera is hyperactive in enzymic activity, but shows no lysophospholipase D activity. Second chimera of enzyme N- and/or C-terminal domains fused to the catalytic domain of NPP2 is completely inactive
enzyme knockout osteoblast cells, about 80% depletion of enzyme activity in matrix vesicles. Transfection of SaOS-2 cells with chimeras of enzyme membrane isoform NPP1 and isoform NPP3, which is not transferred to matrix vesicles. The AASLLAP motif in the cytosolic tail of NPP1 is required for its localization to matrix vesicles and also directs chimeric NPP3 to matrix vesicles
generation of an npp1 knockout mutant, that shows shoots and roots larger than those of wild-type seedlings. The starch content in the npp1 mutant shoots is higher than that of wild-type shoots. Growth and starch accumulation are also enhanced under an atmospheric CO2 concentration (40 Pa) when plants were cultured under a 33°C/28°C regime

overexpression of the maize nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase gene leads to decreased FAD and increased FMN and riboflavin contents in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 plants. But neither contents nor the ratio of zeatin isomers is altered suggesting that the enzyme is unlikely to catalyze the interconversion of zeatin isomers in vivo
