About Nat8l

Summary

Enables aspartate N-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of dopamine uptake involved in synaptic transmission. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; lung; and retina. Orthologous to human NAT8L (N-acetyltransferase 8 like).
