NAT8L blocking peptide
NAT8L Blocking Peptide (N-Term)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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 Description
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.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4p16.3
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; mitochondrial membrane; mitochondrion
Molecular Function: aspartate N-acetyltransferase activity
Disease: N-acetylaspartate Deficiency

Product Notes
The NAT8L nat8l (Catalog #AAA9230520) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NAT8L, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
