The protein encoded by this gene has an N-terminus that is similar to the multicopy associated filamentation (maf) protein of Bacillus subtilis and to orfE of Escherichia coli, while the C-terminus is similar to N-acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase. This gene is located in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) of X and Y chromosomes. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
A synthesized peptide derived from human ASNA1, corresponding to a region within the internal amino acids.
ASNA1 (also known as TRC40) is a highly conserved ATPase involved in efflux of arsenite and antimonite. Reduced ASNA1 expression is associated with significant inhibition of cell growth,increased apoptosis and increased sensitivity to cisplatin and arsenite.Thus ASNA1 is proposed to be a target to overcome resistance to cancer chemotherapy. In addition,ASNA1 has been identified as an ER targeting factor for tail-anchored proteins in the posttranslational membrane insertion pathway.
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the synthesis of asparagine. This gene complements a mutation in the temperature-sensitive hamster mutant ts11, which blocks progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle at nonpermissive temperature. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.
