Autotaxin (ATX) is a 99-125 kDa lysophospholipase D involved in a large range of physiological and pathological processes. 1 This critical enzyme is part of the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/ phosphodiesterase family and is also referred to as ENPP2. Five ATX isoforms have been identified, with ATX-b expressed in most human tissues and ATX-g specific to the central nervous system.
