ASL (Argininosuccinate lyase) exists in monomeric state with ~52kDa molecular weight. It turns into the homotetrameric functional state after addition of four active sites. It is highly expressed in liver but also found at low extent in kidney, small intestine, pancreas, muscle, brain, heart, and erythroblast.

Biochem Physiol Actions: ASL (Argininosuccinate lyase) plays a vital role in hepatic urea cycle. It stimulates the conversion of argininosuccinate into arginine and fumarate. This hydrolytic separation helps to remove waste nitrogen. It also produces nitric oxide through the arginine-citrulline cycle. Mutation in ASL gene causes an autosomal recessive disorder, argininosuccinic aciduria. Study has been reported that ASL behaves as a prognostic marker in several types of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC).
