Summary
NAXE (NAD(P)HX epimerase, HGNC:18453) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q22, encoding NAD(P)H-hydrate epimerase (Q8NCW5). Catalyzes the epimerization of the S- and R-forms of NAD(P)HX, a damaged form of NAD(P)H that is a result of enzymatic or heat-dependent hydration.
The product of this gene interacts with apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major apolipoprotein of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). It is secreted into some bodily fluids, and its synthesis and secretion are stimulated in vitro by incubating cells with apoA-I. The human genome contains related pseudogenes.

- NAXE Mutations Disrupt the Cellular NAD(P)HX Repair System and Cause a Lethal Neurometabolic Disorder of Early Childhood (PMID:27616477)
- These results suggest that AIBP inhibits inflammatory signaling pathways through binding to apoA-1 and stabilizing ABCA1, and subsequent alteration of lipid rafts and TLR4 in the cell membrane. (PMID:29618705)
- These results provide circumstantial evidence that the epimerase has a metabolic function beyond NAD(P)HX repair and that this function involves vitamin B6. (PMID:29654173)
- NAXE gene mutations are associated with early-onset progressive encephalopathy. (PMID:30022751)
- Study finds that AIBP was expressed in inflammatory cells in the human lung. In vitro, AIBP in the presence of surfactant reduced LPS-induced p65, ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation, and IL-6 secretion by alveolar macrophages. These results suggest that lung injury increases pulmonary AIBP expression, which likely serves to promote cholesterol efflux to surfactant and reduce inflammation. (PMID:30135304)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the epimerization of the S- and R-forms of NAD(P)HX, a damaged form of NAD(P)H that is a result of enzymatic or heat-dependent hydration. This is a prerequisite for the S-specific NAD(P)H-hydrate dehydratase to allow the repair of both epimers of NAD(P)HX. Accelerates cholesterol efflux from endothelial cells to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and thereby regulates angiogenesis.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with APOA1 and APOA2.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in kidney, heart and liver. Present in cerebrospinal fluid and urine but not in serum from healthy patients. Present in serum of sepsis patients (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Undergoes physiological phosphorylation during sperm capacitation, downstream to PKA activation.
Disease relevance. Encephalopathy, progressive, early-onset, with brain edema and/or leukoencephalopathy 1 (PEBEL1) [MIM:617186] An autosomal recessive severe neurometabolic disorder characterized by severe leukoencephalopathy usually associated with a trivial febrile illness. Affected infants tend to show normal early development followed by acute psychomotor regression with ataxia, hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and seizures. Disease course is rapidly progressive, leading to coma, global brain atrophy, and death in the first years of life. Brain imaging shows multiple abnormalities, including brain edema and signal abnormalities in the cortical and subcortical regions. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 potassium ion per subunit.
Similarity. Belongs to the NnrE/AIBP family.
