The R02D3.1 gene encodes an ortholog of the human gene ALPHA-AMINOADIPATE SEMIALDEHYDE SYNTHASE (AASS; OMIM:605113), which when mutated leads to hyperlysinemia (OMIM:238700).
Predicted to enable saccharopine dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in lysine biosynthetic process via aminoadipic acid. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in gonadal sheath cell and hypodermal cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperlysinemia. Is an ortholog of human AASS (aminoadipate-semialdehyde synthase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
