Literature associating NAT8L and Canavan disease
NAT8L [ENSP00000413064]
N-acetyltransferase 8-like (GCN5-related, putative); Plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis by producing N-acetylaspartate acid (NAA), a brain-specific metabolite. NAA occurs in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter. Promotes dopamine uptake by regulating TNF-alpha expression. Attenuates methamphetamine-induced inhibition of dopamine uptake; Belongs to the camello family.
