ASPA

ASPA, or aspartase, is a protein with multiple functions in living organisms.Discovered in 1975 by researchers at the International Thermal Conductivity Corporation in Japan, ASPA has a molecular weight of 21.1 kDa and consists of two equal polypeptide chains containing 10 amino acids. It is involved in a variety of biological processes such as promoting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, regulating the cell cycle and participating in cell signalling. In oncology research, ASPA has been used as a drug target that interacts with proteins in tumour cells to inhibit the growth and spread of tumour cells .ASPA has a wide range of applications in drug discovery, and can be used as a drug target for the treatment of cancer, for example, drugs that inhibit the activity of ASPA can inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells . In addition, ASPA can be used as a biomarker to detect the extent of disease and the effectiveness of treatment. In a biological sense, the activity and expression level of ASPA is closely related to the development of many diseases, and is an important target in medical research and treatment.
