Aspartoacylase Deficiency: The Enzyme Defect in Canavan Disease

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1989
Spongy degeneration of the brain, Canavan disease (CD; McKusick 27190) is an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy (van Bogaert and Bertrand, 1967). Recently, Matalon et al. (1988) have reported three children with CD who had excessive amounts of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) in urine, blood and brain, and deficiency of aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15) in ...

Identification and distribution of aspartoacylase in the postnatal rat brain

NeuroReport, 2003
Aspartoacylase metabolizes N-acetylaspartic acid to produce L-aspartate and acetate. An aspartoacylase deficiency in humans is responsible for Canavan disease, a lethal autosomal recessive leukodystrophy. The role of aspartoacylase in the mammalian brain is unclear.

Prenatal detection of Canavan disease (aspartoacylase deficiency) by DNA analysis

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1994
SummaryAmniocentesis was performed in four pregnancies at risk for Canavan disease (CD). In all families both parents were of Ashkenazi‐Jewish origin and harboured the C854 mutation in the cDNA of the aspartoacylase gene. Using DNA analysis of the amniotic cells, three fetuses were predicted to be non‐affected and one fetus was predicted to be affected.

Abstract 3663: Characterization of aspartoacylase in oligodendroglioma

Cancer Research, 2011
Abstract Aspartoacylase (ASPA, ACY2) is an oligodendrocyte-derived amino acid deacetylase (aminoacylase) responsible for supplying acetate for myelin lipid synthesis via the cleavage of N-acetyl-L-aspartate (NAA) into free acetate and aspartate.

Murine aspartoacylase: cloning, expression and comparison with the human enzyme

Molecular Brain Research, 2000
Canavan disease is caused by mutations in aspartoacylase, the enzyme that degrades N-acetylaspartate (NAA) into acetate and aspartate. Murine aspartoacylase (mASPA) was cloned using sequence information from mouse expressed sequence tags homologous to the human cDNA.
