'''Asparaginase''' (ASP) catalyzes the conversion of asparagine to aspartic acid (AA). The ALL cells require high concentrations of asparagine which becomes scarce when high doses of ASP are present. '''Isoaspartyl peptidase/L-asparaginase''' (IPA) has activity of L-asparaginase and of β-aspartyl peptidase<ref>PMID:15159592</ref>. [[Glycosylasparaginase]] (GASP) plays an imortant role in asparagine-linked glycoprotein degradation<ref>PMID:17157318</ref>.

'''L-Asparaginases''' are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide group of the amino acid L-asparagine (L-Asn) to L-aspartate, with the simultaneous release of ammonia. They are often referred to as ASNase and assigned the EC number 3.5.1.1; if significant glutaminase co-activity (hydrolysis of the similar amino acid L-glutamine) is also present, the EC number is 3.5.1.38. Some ASNases that belong to other classes (see below) are assigned EC 3.4.19.5. (GASP) plays an imortant role in asparagine-linked glycoprotein degradation<ref>PMID:17157318</ref>.
