Asparaginase _Erwinia chrysanthemi_ is an asparaginase-specific enzyme derived from _Erwinia_ _chrysanthemi_ used as an anticancer agent. It works by depleting the stores of an important amino acid called asparagine, which is involved in DNA synthesis and cel…

Asparaginase derived from _Escherichia coli_ (L-asparagine amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.1) is an enzyme responsible for the metabolism of L-asparagine, by catalyzing L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia. It also facilitates the production of oxaloacetate…

Red blood cell-encapsulated L-asparaginase is [Asparaginase Escherichia coli] encapsulated inside donor-derived red blood cells, which target cancer cells capable of altering asparagine and glutamine metabolism. It is being investigated in cancers.[L44923]
