Rat Argininosuccinate Synthase, ASS1 ELISA Kit, 96T Liquid Storage Consumables The metallocarboxypeptidase family of enzymes

The metallocarboxypeptidase family of enzymes is divided into 2 subfamilies based on sequence similarities

An important paralog of this gene is SLC6A4

Mutations in this gene cause ovarian dysgenesis type 1

whereas alpha-1

This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper family

Rat Argininosuccinate Synthase, ASS1 ELISA Kit, 96T Liquid Storage Consumables The metallocarboxypeptidase family of enzymesOne of the enzymes of the urea cycle, the metabolic pathway transforming neurotoxic amonia produced by protein catabolism into inocuous urea in the liver of ureotelic animals (Probable). Catalyzes the formation of arginosuccinate from aspartate, citrulline and ATP and together with ASL it is responsible for the biosynthesis of arginine in most body tissues (Probable). Indirectly, may be involved in the control of blood pressure (PubMed: 19491403).
