    Summary
    The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nitrilase enzyme superfamily. Nitrilases are nonpeptidic C-N hydrolases. In mammals, nitrilases form small molecule C-N bonds such as acid amides, carbamates and ureas. Nit1-deficient mice display phenotypes including increased cell proliferation, resistance to DNA damage, and an increased number of N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine-induced murine forestomach tumors, suggesting a tumor suppressor function. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and uses an alternate splice site in the 5' coding region, which results in initiation of translation from a downstream start codon compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform b, which has a shorter N-terminus compared to isoform a. Variants 2 and 4 encode the same isoform.
