Rat N-Acetylaspartate Synthetase, NAT8L ELI

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 (By similarity).
