Anti-NAT8L / N-acetyltransferase 8-like protein

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. N-acetyltransferase 8-like protein 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. Protein function: Catalyzes the synthesis of N-acetylaspartate acid (NAA) from L-aspartate and acetyl-CoA (PubMed:19524112, PubMed:19807691, PubMed:20385109). Promotes dopamine uptake by regulating TNF-alpha expression. Attenuates methamphetamine-induced inhibition of dopamine uptake (PubMed:20385109). [The UniProt Consortium]
