ENPP1 enzyme replacement therapy improves blood pressure and cardiovascular function in a mouse model of generalized arterial calcification of infancy
29 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a rare, life-threatening disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), which normally hydrolyzes extracellular ATP into AMP and pyrophosphate (PPi). The disease is characterized by extensive arterial calcification and stenosis of large- and medium-sized vessels, leading...
