Biochem Physiol Actions: ASS1 (argininosuccinate synthase) is mainly responsible for conversion of citrulline and aspartate into argininosuccinate. The pathway is crucial in the urea and arginine-citrulline cycles. Mutations in ASS1 are associated with citrullinemia. ASS1 is down-regulated by promoter methylation in children suffering from phenylketonuria (PKU). Aberrant expression of ASS1 is associated with carcinogenesis of gastric cancer.
