L-asparaginase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ASRGL1 gene.
== Function == The ASRGL1 protein consists of 308 amino acids and is activated by autocleavage at amino acid 168 to form an alpha- and a beta-chain, which can dimerize into a heterodimer. The ASRGL1 enzyme has both L-asparaginase and beta-aspartyl peptidase activity and may be involved in the production of L-aspartate, which can act as an excitatory neurotransmitter in some brain regions.
