Function Has a omega-amidase activity. The role of omega-amidase is to remove potentially toxic intermediates by converting alpha- ketoglutaramate and alpha-ketosuccinamate to biologically useful alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively. Overexpression decreases the colony-forming capacity of cultured cells by arresting cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488281, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19595734}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488281}.
Tissue Specificity Detected in fetal brain (at protein level). Ubiquitous. Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528910, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488281}.
