ASPA - aspartoacylase Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as ASP; ACY2

Gene ID: 443 | Gene type: protein coding

About ASPA

Cytogenetic location: 17p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:3,474,110-3,503,405 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 9.3), brain (RPKM 5.6) and 19 other tissues.

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 scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
