About NAGS

Cytogenetic location: 17q21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:44,004,622-44,009,068 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 167 orthologues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in duodenum (RPKM 7.8), small intestine (RPKM 6.4) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

The N-acetylglutamate synthase gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl coenzyme-A. NAG is a cofactor of carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), the first enzyme of the urea cycle in mammals. This gene may regulate ureagenesis by altering NAG availability and, thereby, CPSI activity. Deficiencies in N-acetylglutamate synthase have been associated with hyperammonemia.
