NIT1 nitrilase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4817)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4817)
Symbol: NIT1
Full name: nitrilase 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the nitrilase protein family with homology to bacterial and plant nitrilases, enzymes that cleave nitriles and organic amides to the corresponding carboxylic acids plus ammonia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
