| − | + | ASP1 / YDR321W is a gene that codes for a cytosolic L-asparaginase. This protein catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine into aspartate and ammonia during the asparagine catabolic pathway. Researchers are studying ASP1 / YDR321W to learn of its effects on lymphoblastic leukemia and how its transcription levels can be down regulated to help starve cancer cells. This gene isi located on Chromosome IV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Position 1,108,702-1,109,847). ASP1 / YDR321W is one of two L-asparaginases, and the only asparaginase found in the cytoplasm. | |
