Asl - argininosuccinate lyase

Predicted to enable argininosuccinate lyase activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within ammonia assimilation cycle; locomotory behavior; and post-embryonic development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell body fiber; mitochondrial outer membrane; and perikaryon. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study argininosuccinic aciduria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder and argininosuccinic aciduria. Orthologous to human ASL (argininosuccinate lyase).
