A novel Aspartoacylase (ASPA) Gene Mutation in Canavan Disease
Canavan disease is a severe autosomal recessive leukodystrophy characterized by macrocephaly, ataxia, severe motor and mental retardation, dysmyelination, and progressive spongial atrophy of the brain. The human aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene, which catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetyl-L-aspartate, is mutated in Canavan disease.

Modeling the Complete Catalytic Cycle of Aspartoacylase
The complete catalytic cycle of aspartoacylase (ASPA), a zinc-dependent enzyme responsible for cleavage of N-acetyl-l-aspartate, is characterized by the methods of molecular modeling. The reaction energy profile connecting the enzyme-substrate (ES) and the enzyme-product (EP) complexes is constructed by the quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM)

Expression of aspartoacylase (ASPA) and Canavan disease
Canavan disease (CD) is a neurodegenerative disorder usually presenting in the first six months of life. CD patients can be identified via elevated levels of N-acetyl-l-aspartate in the pattern of urinary organic acids assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Purification and preliminary characterization of brain aspartoacylase
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2003Aspartoacylase catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) in the brain to produce acetate and L-aspartate. An aspartoacylase deficiency, with concomitant accumulation of NAA, is responsible for Canavan disease, a lethal autosomal recessive disorder.

Aspartoacylase gene knockout in the mouse: Impact on reproduction
Reproductive Toxicology, 2005Canavan disease (CD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene mutations resulting enzyme deficiency. The homozygous knockout mouse for CD showed symptoms similar observed in patients with CD. Canavan disease leads to early death.
