| Function | 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). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16935940}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16935940}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected in kidney proximal tubule cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16935940}. |
| Top Pathways | Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, Histidine metabolism |
