Reaction: 2 ATP + N-acetyl-L-aspartate + 2 L-glutamate = 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamyl-L-glutamate
Other name(s): N-acetylaspartylglutamylglutamate synthetase; NAAG(2) synthase; NAAG synthetase II; NAAGS-II; RIMKLA (gene name) (ambiguous)
Systematic name: N-acetyl-L-aspartate:L-glutamate ligase (ADP, N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamyl-L-glutamate-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, found in mammals, also has the activity of EC 6.3.2.41, N-acetylaspartylglutamate synthase.
