Summary

Name ASPA
Full Name Aspartoacylase
Synonyms Aminoacylase-2, ACY-2 | ACY2, ASP
Primary ID P45381
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 3
Pathways Aspartate and asparagine metabolism
Function Catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) to produce acetate and L-aspartate. NAA occurs in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis NAA plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter. In other tissues it act as a scavenger of NAA from body fluids.
