Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Has a omega-amidase activity. The role of omega-amidase is to remove potentially toxic intermediates by converting alpha- ketoglutaramate and alpha-ketosuccinamate to biologically useful alpha-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively. Overexpression decreases the colony-forming capacity of cultured cells by arresting cells in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488281, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19595734}.
