STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

Nat8lN-acetylaspartate synthetase; Plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis by producing N- acetylaspartate acid (NAA), a brain-specific metabolite. NAA occurs in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter. Promotes dopamine uptake by regulating TNF-alpha expression. Attenuates methamphetamine-induced inhibition of dopamine uptake. Belongs to the camello family. (299 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
Aspa
Aspartoacylase; Catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) to produce acetate and L-aspartate. NAA occurs in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis NAA plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter (By similarity).
   
 
 0.981
Rimkla
N-acetylaspartylglutamate synthase A; Catalyzes the synthesis of N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate (NAAG) and N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamyl-L-glutamate.
   
 
 0.959
Rimklb
Beta-citrylglutamate synthase B; Catalyzes the synthesis of beta-citryl-L-glutamate and N- acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate. Beta-citryl-L-glutamate is synthesized more efficiently than N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate. Belongs to the RimK family.
   
 
 0.942
Asns
Asparagine synthetase [glutamine-hydrolyzing].
   
 
 0.931
Got1
Aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic; Biosynthesis of L-glutamate from L-aspartate or L-cysteine. Important regulator of levels of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate central nervous system. Acts as a scavenger of glutamate in brain neuroprotection. The aspartate aminotransferase activity is involved in hepatic glucose synthesis during development and in adipocyte glyceroneogenesis. Using L-cysteine as substrate, regulates levels of mercaptopyruvate, an important source of hydrogen sulfide. Mercaptopyruvate is converted into H(2)S via the action of 3-m [...]
   
 
 0.911
Folh1
Glutamate carboxypeptidase 2; Has both folate hydrolase and N-acetylated-alpha-linked- acidic dipeptidase (NAALADase) activity. Has a preference for tri- alpha-glutamate peptides (By similarity). In the intestine, required for the uptake of folate. In the brain, modulates excitatory neurotransmission through the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide, N- aceylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), thereby releasing glutamate.
   
 
 0.910
Got1l1
Putative aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic 2; Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
   
 
 0.909
Got2
Aspartate aminotransferase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the irreversible transamination of the L-tryptophan metabolite L-kynurenine to form kynurenic acid (KA). Plays a key role in amino acid metabolism. Important for metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytosol. Facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain free fatty acids.
   
 
 0.891
Gad1
Glutamate decarboxylase 1; Catalyzes the production of GABA; Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.
   
 
 0.884
Gad2
Glutamate decarboxylase 2; Catalyzes the production of GABA.
