ASS1

argininosuccinate synthase 1

Argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1; argininosuccinate synthase) is a cytosolic urea-cycle enzyme that catalyzes ATP-dependent formation of argininosuccinate from citrulline and aspartate. This catalogue-backed ABMIUM record links human ASS1 (NCBI Gene 445; UniProt P00966) to research reagents.

About ASS1

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

ASS1 catalyzes the ATP-dependent condensation of citrulline and aspartate to form argininosuccinate. This reaction is a core urea-cycle step and, together with argininosuccinate lyase, contributes to endogenous arginine biosynthesis.

Experimental context

Research context

ASS1 is studied in urea-cycle biology, citrulline and arginine metabolism, nitrogen handling and metabolic pathway regulation. Review each linked ABMIUM product for species, application, assay format and product-level validation before use.
