UniProt functional annotation for Q13232

UniProt code: Q13232.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Major role in the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphates other than ATP. The ATP gamma phosphate is transferred to the NDP beta phosphate via a ping-pong mechanism, using a phosphorylated active-site intermediate. Probably has a role in normal hematopoiesis by inhibition of granulocyte differentiation and induction of apoptosis.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + ATP = a 2'- deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate + ADP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:44640, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:61560, ChEBI:CHEBI:73316, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.4.6;
Catalytic activity: Reaction=a ribonucleoside 5'-diphosphate + ATP = a ribonucleoside 5'- triphosphate + ADP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18113, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:57930, ChEBI:CHEBI:61557, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.4.6;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
Developmental stage: Preferentially expressed at early stages of myeloid differentiation of highly purified CD34+ cells.
Similarity: Belongs to the NDK family. {ECO:0000305}.
