NCIt definition : The acetylated form of aspartic acid synthesized in the mitochondria of neurons from aspartic acid and acetyl-coenzyme A. Although highly concentrated in neurons, the exact biological role of N-acetylaspartate has yet to be identified. N-acetylaspartate can act as a neuronal marker and brain levels are decreased in many neuropathological conditions.;
