Summary: Enables argininosuccinate lyase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; cellular response to organic cyclic compound; and response to peptide hormone. Located in several cellular components, including cell body fiber; mitochondrial outer membrane; and perikaryon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder and argininosuccinic aciduria. Orthologous to human ASL (argininosuccinate lyase).

What's a GeneRIF?

Enterocyte-derived ASL has a protective role in necrotizing enterocolitis.
Title: Argininosuccinate lyase in enterocytes protects from development of necrotizing enterocolitis.
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.
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.
