Summary
Predicted to enable asparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including asparagine biosynthetic process; cellular response to glucose starvation; and positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular amino acid biosynthetic process and glutamine metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ASNS (asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
