The specificity of the assay was validated by demonstrating a complete deficiency of NAGS in liver homogenates from Nags -/- mice. CONCLUSION: The novel NAGS enzyme assay reported herein can be used for the diagnosis of inherited NAGS deficiency and may also be of value in the study of secondary hyperammonemia present in various inborn errors of metabolism as well as drug treatment.

The following Nags gene cDNA ORF clone sequences were retrieved from the NCBI Reference Sequence Database (RefSeq). These sequences represent the protein coding region of the Nags cDNA ORF which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) sequence. ORF sequences can be delivered in our standard vector, pcDNA3.1+/C-(K)DYK or the vector of your choice as an expression/transfection-ready ORF clone. Not the clone you want?

Comment | Comment: VALIDATED REFSEQ: This record has undergone validation or preliminary review. The reference sequence was derived from AL591145.25, AK075765.1 and AI415708.1. On Oct 6, 2012 this sequence version replaced NM_145829.1. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.
