ASNS asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)

Gene ID: 440, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TS11; ASNSD

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of asparagine. This gene complements a mutation in the temperature-sensitive hamster mutant ts11, which blocks progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle at nonpermissive temperature. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
