Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Selectively catalyzes the oxidative deamination of acidic amino acids (PubMed:9163533, PubMed:1991137, PubMed:20603179, PubMed:23391306, PubMed:25747990, PubMed:28560262, PubMed:28393897, PubMed:29292239, PubMed:32553892, PubMed:31914658, PubMed:28629864). Suppresses the level of D-aspartate in the brain, an amino acid that can act as an agonist for glutamate receptors (PubMed:28560262). Protects the organism from the toxicity of D-amino acids (By similarity). May also function in the intestine (By similarity).
