Summary: Enables L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity and ribosomal large subunit binding activity. Involved in aspartate biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of translation in response to oxidative stress. Located in cytosol and peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyloidosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 82; pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; and transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to several human genes including GOT1 (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
