Aga

This gene encodes an amidase enzyme that participates in the breakdown of glycoproteins in the cell. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature enzyme. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit accumulation of aspartylglucosamine along with lysosomal vacuolization, axonal swelling in the gracile nucleus and impaired neuromotor coordination. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate mature protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Aga often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
