N-acetylaspartate synthetase (Nat8l)

Plays a role in the regulation of lipogenesis by generating N-acetylaspartate acid (NAA), a brain-specific metabolite. NAA happens in high concentration in brain and its hydrolysis plays a significant part in the maintenance of intact white matter.

Promotes dopamine uptake by regulating TNF-alpha expression. Attenuates methamphetamine-induced inhibition of dopamine uptake.
