Rat N-Acetylaspartate Synthetase, NAT8L ELISA Kit, 96T PCR Series This gene encodes a member

This gene encodes a member of the bicoid subfamily of the paired (PRD) homeobox family of proteins

The protein consists of an amino-terminal 7S domain

which is proteolytically activated

This protein is up-regulated in patients with systemic sclerosis and is associated with fibrosis induced by insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5

or telosome

Rat N-Acetylaspartate Synthetase, NAT8L ELISA Kit, 96T PCR Series This gene encodes a memberPlays 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 (By similarity).
