Enables bis(5'-adenosyl)-hexaphosphatase activity and inositol diphosphate pentakisphosphate diphosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including glucose homeostasis; inositol phosphate metabolic process; and lipid homeostasis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central brain primordium; embryonic brain; embryonic central brain neurons; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and gut section. Orthologous to several human genes including NUDT4 (nudix hydrolase 4) and NUDT4B (nudix hydrolase 4B).
FB Description
Aps (Aps) encodes a diphosphoinositol-polyphosphate diphosphatase that hydrolyses a range of (di)nucleoside polyphosphates. It is involved in glucose and lipid homeostasis.
