This enzyme is also known by the alternate name ASPG. Asparagine synthetase weighs approximately 64 kDa and it is found in many tissues including the liver and pancreas. The presence of ASNS is important for the synthesis of asparagine an amino acid necessary for protein and nucleotide synthesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nASNS drives the synthesis of asparagine through a mechanism involving the ATP-dependent conversion of substrates. It does not function as part of a larger enzyme complex but operates independently to fulfill its role. In cells asparagine produced serves as a critical building block supporting protein biosynthesis and cell proliferation particularly in rapidly dividing cells such as cancer cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAsparagine synthetase plays a central role in the asparagine biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme is key for maintaining cellular amino acid homeostasis and is linked to the mTOR pathway which regulates cell growth and metabolism. Additionally ASNS interacts with proteins like glutaminase which supplies one of its essential substrates glutamine.\u003cbr\u003e\nASNS has a significant correlation with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) where asparagine levels affect cancer cell survival. Targeting ASNS can influence chemotherapeutic strategies given its role in providing asparagine to leukemic cells. Additionally ASNS deficiency can lead to severe neurological conditions further highlighting its importance in human health. Its interaction with glutaminase is particularly relevant as both are involved in pathways targeted in ALL treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843908063401,"sku":"ab152201","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab152201","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
