ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a single-pass membrane protein, which contains a conserved sequence of the GCN5 or NAT superfamily of N-acetyltransferases and is a member of the N-acyltransferase (NAT) superfamily. This protein is a neuron-specific protein and is the N-acetylaspartate (NAA) biosynthetic enzyme, catalyzing the NAA synthesis from L-aspartate and acetyl-CoA. NAA is a major storage and transport form of acetyl coenzyme A specific to the nervous system. The gene mutation results in primary NAA deficiency (hypoacetylaspartia). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
uniprot summary :
NAT8L: 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. Defects in NAT8L are the cause of N-acetylaspartate deficiency (NACED). A metabolic disorder resulting in truncal ataxia, marked developmental delay, seizures, and secondary microcephaly. Belongs to the camello family. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Acetyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.17. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4p16.3. Cellular Component: mitochondrion; mitochondrial membrane; cytoplasm; integral to membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Molecular Function: aspartate N-acetyltransferase activity. Biological Process: positive regulation of dopamine uptake; metabolic process. Disease: N-acetylaspartate Deficiency
