Summary: Enables argininosuccinate synthase activity and toxic substance binding activity. Involved in several processes, including L-amino acid metabolic process; cellular response to cAMP; and cellular response to cytokine stimulus. Located in cell body fiber; mitochondrial outer membrane; and perikaryon. Biomarker of uveitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in citrullinemia; classic citrullinemia; hepatocellular carcinoma; and melanoma. Orthologous to human ASS1 (argininosuccinate synthase 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

these studies demonstrate that increased amino acid flux can activate AMPK through increased AMP generated by ASS, thus providing a novel link between protein catabolism, ureagenesis, and hepatic lipid metabolism.
Title: Argininosuccinate synthetase regulates hepatic AMPK linking protein catabolism and ureagenesis to hepatic lipid metabolism.
Local factors such as the NO produced by nNOS/ASS/ASL-positive neurons, could influence ASS/ASL-positive microglia cells avoiding or allowing the induction, in these cells, of iNOS.
Title: Activated microglia cells express argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase in the rat brain after transient ischemia.
Argininosuccinate synthetase has a role in preventing autotoxicity from nitric oxide overproduction
Title: Argininosuccinate synthetase is reversibly inactivated by S-nitrosylation in vitro and in vivo.
The latter, in turn, attenuates L-arg catabolism and urea production and, thereby, mitigates the fall in plasma L-arg.
Title: Effect of chronic renal failure on arginase and argininosuccinate synthetase expression.
24 h after reperfusion, number of nNOS-positive neurons and tpercentage of those co-expressing ASS and ASL were significantly increased in the animals with a longer survival. 144 h after ischemia there was almost complete restore of these neurons.
Title: Transient ischemia increases neuronal nitric oxide synthase, argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase co-expression in rat striatal neurons.

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.
