摘要: The enzyme nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDP or NDPK) was discovered in the 1950s as biochemical activity that removes terminal phosphate from a triphosphate (NTP) and adds it to (NDP). Thus, correct name for is NTP/NDP transphosphorylase, generally regarded housekeeping required nucleotide homeostasis. At least four of ten Nme gene family products (Nme1– Nme4), also called group I proteins, carry enzymatic activity. A far more complex story started 1990s when became evident enhanced cancer metastasis linked reduced expression named nm23, which turned out be identical humanNme1 = NDPKA. To date, function Nme1 underlying its suppressor has not been clarified. It hoped fundamental cellular molecular insights into role NDP kinase/
