ASNS Gene (Protein Coding)

Asparagine Synthetase (Glutamine-Hydrolyzing)

GC07M097854
GIFtS:
48
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of asparagine. This gene complements a mutation in the temperature-sensitive hamster mutant ts11, which blocks progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle at nonpermissive temperature. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010] See more...
