Summary

Name NAT8L
Full Name N-acetylaspartate synthetase
Synonyms NAA synthetase, Camello-like protein 3, N-acetyltransferase 8-like protein | CML3
Primary ID Q8N9F0
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 4
Pathways Aspartate and asparagine metabolism
Function Plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis by producing N-acetylaspartate acid (NAA), a brain-specific metabolite. NAA occurs in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter. Promotes dopamine uptake by regulating TNF-alpha expression. Attenuates methamphetamine-induced inhibition of dopamine uptake.
