Harmonizome 3.0

N-terminal asparagine amidase

The protein encoded by this gene functions in a step-wise process of protein degradation through the N-end rule pathway. This protein acts as a tertiary destabilizing enzyme that deamidates N-terminal L-Asn residues on proteins to produce N-terminal L-Asp. L-Asp substrates are subsequently conjugated to L-Arg, which is recognized by specific E3 ubiquitin ligases and targeted to the proteasome. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the long arms of chromosomes 8, 10 and 12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.

N-terminal asparagine amidase pseudogene 3

N-acylethanolamine acid amidase

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides. Involved in several processes, including N-acylethanolamine metabolic process; N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process; and sphingosine metabolic process. Located in lysosome and membrane.
