Also known as HANKANKCPPDDSLC62A1
Summary
ANKH (ANKH inorganic pyrophosphate transport regulator, HGNC:15492) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p15.2, encoding Mineralization regulator ANKH (Q9HCJ1). Transports adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and possibly other nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) from cytosol to the extracellular space.
This gene encodes a multipass transmembrane protein that is expressed in joints and other tissues and controls pyrophosphate levels in cultured cells. Progressive ankylosis-mediated control of pyrophosphate levels has been suggested as a possible mechanism regulating tissue calcification and susceptibility to arthritis in higher animals. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant craniometaphyseal dysplasia.

Function. Transports adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and possibly other nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) from cytosol to the extracellular space. Mainly regulates their levels locally in peripheral tissues while playing a minor systemic role. Prevents abnormal ectopic mineralization of the joints by regulating the extracellular levels of the calcification inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), which originates from the conversion of extracellular NTPs to NMPs and PPis by ENPP1. Regulates the release of the TCA cycle intermediates to the extracellular space, in particular citrate, succinate and malate. Extracellular citrate mostly present in bone tissue is required for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, stabilization of hydroxyapatite structure and overall bone strength. The transport mechanism remains to be elucidated.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Found in osteoblasts from mandibular bone and from iliac bone; not detected in osteoclastic cells.
Disease relevance. Chondrocalcinosis 2 (CCAL2) [MIM:118600] Chondrocalcinosis is a common cause of joint pain and arthritis caused by calcium deposition in articular cartilage and the presence of calcium hypophosphate crystals in synovial fluid, cartilage and periarticular soft tissue. CCAL2 inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Craniometaphyseal dysplasia, autosomal dominant (CMDD) [MIM:123000] An osteochondrodysplasia characterized by hyperostosis and sclerosis of the craniofacial bones associated with abnormal modeling of the metaphyses. Sclerosis of the skull may lead to asymmetry of the mandible, as well as to cranial nerve compression, that may finally result in hearing loss and facial palsy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A missense variant of ANKH cosegregates with a complex phenotype according to an autosomal recessive pattern. Affected homozygous individuals from a large consanguinous family show sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, intellectual disability, spinal ankylosis, and periarticular calcification of small joints. Only a mild arthropathy is observed in heterozygous individuals.
Similarity. Belongs to the ANKH family.
