Asns - asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)

Enables asparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including asparagine biosynthetic process; cellular response to glucose starvation; and response to follicle-stimulating hormone. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human ASNS (asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
