Function
catalytic activity:L-asparagine + H(2)O = L-aspartate + NH(3).,function:Acts in asparagine catabolism. May be involved in astroglial production of L-aspartate, which can act as an excitatory neurotransmitter in some brain regions.,induction:By 5-alpha-di-hydrotestosterone and progesterone.,similarity:Belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase family.,subcellular location:Midpiece of sperm tail.,tissue specificity:Expressed in brain, kidney, testis and tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Present in sperm (at protein level). Over-expressed in uterine, mammary, prostatic and ovarian carcinoma.,
