NIT1, Official Symbol NIT1provided by HGNC Official Full Name nitrilase 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:7828 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000158793 MIM:604618; AllianceGenome:HGNC:7828 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo 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.
