NME5: Proteins and Enzymes

NME5, or Nucleoside diphosphate kinase homolog 5, consists of a 212 amino acid isoform that is 24 kDa, and is involved in spermiogenesis. Current disease research is being conducted on the relationship between NME5 and pneumonia. The protein has been linked to several biological processes, including purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and the pyrimidine ribonucleotide salvage pathway. NME5 has been found to interact with DYDC1, DYDC2, RELA, NFS1, and AK7.
