Description

N-acetyltransferase 8-like

Gene Summary

Enables L-aspartate N-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in acetate metabolic process; aspartate metabolic process; and positive regulation of dopamine uptake involved in synaptic transmission. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; lung; and retina. Orthologous to human NAT8L (N-acetyltransferase 8 like).
