ASPA, Recombinant, Human, aa1-313, His-Tag (Aspartoacylase)

ASPA, also known as aspartoacylase, is expressed in liver, lung and kidney tissue, as well as in skeletal muscle and in cerebral white matter. Existing as a homodimer, Aspartoacylase functions to catalyze the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) (a protein whose hydrolysis is crucial to maintenance of intact white matter) to produce acetate and L-aspartate. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-313 of human ASPA, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
