The product of the nm23-H1 gene, reported to be related to the metastatic potential of tumour cells, was recently identified as the nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase A (Gilles et al., 1991, J Biol Chem, 266, 8784-8789). An analysis of the enzyme by activity measurement and immunological techniques using polyclonal antibodies raised against the NDP kinase A purified from human erythrocytes, was performed on 39 human tissue specimens. Markedly increased activity and higher level of the protein were observed in extracts of solid tumours as compared to the corresponding normal tissues (P less than 0.01). An intense immunolabelling of tumoral cells was observed in sections of the malignant tumours and of some but not all benign neoplasia. The staining is observed in noninvasive and invasive ductal breast carcinomas with or without lymph node involvement as well as in colon and cervix carcinomas and in a case of metastatic melanoma. Therefore, NDP kinase A level is increased in neoplastic tissues but no correlation with metastatic potential could be demonstrated.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D009701 Nucleoside-Diphosphate Kinase An enzyme that is found in mitochondria and in the soluble cytoplasm of cells. It catalyzes reversible reactions of a nucleoside triphosphate, e.g., ATP, with a nucleoside diphosphate, e.g., UDP, to form ADP and UTP. Many nucleoside diphosphates can act as acceptor, while many ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates can act as donor. EC 2.7.4.6.
