physiological function | overexpression of Nat8L drains glucose-derived acetyl-CoA into the N-acetyl-L-aspartate pool at the expense of cellular lipids and certain amino acids. A combined activation of neutral and lysosomal (acid) lipolysis is responsible for the increased lipid degradation. Nat8l overexpression increases the number of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Expression of Nat8l and aspartoacylase are nutritionally regulated and respond robustly to changes in glucose availability | Mus musculus |
