Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 443
Gene name Aspartoacylase
Gene symbol ASPA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ACY2ASP
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17p13.2
Summary This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenge

Protein name Aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15) (Aminoacylase-2) (ACY-2)
Protein 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
