Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and peptidyl-aspartic acid 3-dioxygenase activity. Involved in regulation of protein depolymerization and regulation of protein stability. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; limb morphogenesis; and roof of mouth development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum; eye; face; heart; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma. Orthologous to human ASPH (aspartate beta-hydroxylase).
