Abstract excerpt
Autotaxin/NPP2, a secreted lysophospholipase-D, promotes cell proliferation, survival, and motility by generating the signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid. Here we show that ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 2 (NPP2) is N-glycosylated on Asn-53, Asn-410, and Asn-524. Mutagenesis and deglycosylation experiments revealed that only the glycosylation of Asn-524 is essential for the expression of...
