Function |
Has both L-asparaginase and beta-aspartyl peptidase activity. May be involved in the production of L-aspartate, which can act as an excitatory neurotransmitter in some brain regions. Is highly active with L-Asp beta-methyl ester. Besides, has catalytic activity toward beta-aspartyl dipeptides and their methyl esters, including beta-L-Asp-L-Phe, beta-L-Asp-L-Phe methyl ester (aspartame), beta-L-Asp-L-Ala, beta-L-Asp-L-Leu and beta-L- Asp-L-Lys. Does not have aspartylglucosaminidase activity and is inactive toward GlcNAc-L-Asn. Likewise, has no activity toward glutamine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19839645}.

Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in brain, kidney, testis and tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Present in sperm (at protein level). Over-expressed in uterine, mammary, prostatic and ovarian carcinoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11984834, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14654938}.
