Asph - aspartate-beta-hydroxylase

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and peptidyl-aspartic acid 3-dioxygenase activity. Involved in regulation of protein depolymerization and regulation of protein stability. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; limb morphogenesis; and peptidyl-aspartic acid hydroxylation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; face; heart; limb; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma. Orthologous to human ASPH (aspartate beta-hydroxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
