NAT8L Proteins and Enzymes

N-Acetyltransferase 8-Like, NAT8L, is a single-pass membrane protein and a member of the N-Acetyltransferase superfamily. The protein catalyzes the synthesis of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), a major transport and storage enzyme that is specific to the nervous system. Mutations in NAT8L result in primary NAA deficiency.
