Background: ENPP-7/Alk-SMase
ENPP-7 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 7), also known as alkaline sphingomyelinase (alk-SMase) is expressed in the intestines and in human bile (1). It shares 30%‑36% homology with the members of the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterese (NPP) family while sharing no similarities with neutral or acid SMase (2). Its main function is the digestion of dietary sphingomyelin by hydrolyzing sphingomyelin into ceramide and phosphorylcholine. ENPP-7 is reported to hydrolyse and inactivate platelet-activating factor (PAF) by a phospholipase C-type activity (3). Studies also show a decrease in ENPP-7 activity in human colorectal adenocarcinomas and human colorectal carcinomas, which indicate a potential role of ENPP-7 in human colon cancer (4, 5).
