ID:ACY3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Aspartoacylase-2; EC=3.5.1.-; AltName: Full=Acylase III; AltName: Full=Aminoacylase-3; Short=ACY-3; AltName: Full=Hepatitis C virus core-binding protein 1; Short=HCBP1; Short=HCV core-binding protein 1; FUNCTION: Plays an important role in deacetylating mercapturic acids in kidney proximal tubules (By similarity). COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit (Potential). SUBUNIT: Homotetramer (By similarity). Interacts with HCV core protein. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Apical cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm. Note=Predominantly localized in the apical membrane of cells in the S1 segment. In the proximal straight tubules (S2 and S3 segments) is expressed diffusely throughout the cytoplasm. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the AspA/AstE family. Aspartoacylase subfamily.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
