| ncRNA Symbol: | BPNT1 | | Full Name: | 3'(2'), 5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase 1 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | HEL20|PIP | | Chromosome: | chr1 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 220057482 | End Site(bp): | 220090462 | | | Gene Summary: | BPNT1, also called bisphosphate 3-prime-nucleotidase, or BPntase, is a member of a magnesium-dependent phosphomonoesterase family. Lithium, a major drug used to treat manic depression, acts as an uncompetitive inhibitor of BPntase. The predicted human protein is 92% identical to mouse BPntase. BPntase's physiologic role in nucleotide metabolism may be regulated by inositol signaling pathways. The inhibition of human BPntase may account for lithium-induced nephrotoxicity.
