Structural highlights
DiseaseGLNA_HUMAN Defects in GLUL are the cause of congenital systemic glutamine deficiency (CSGD) [MIM:610015. CSGD is a rare developmental disorder with severe brain malformation resulting in multi-organ failure and neonatal death. Glutamine is largely absent from affected patients serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid.[1] FunctionGLNA_HUMAN This enzyme has 2 functions: it catalyzes the production of glutamine and 4-aminobutanoate (gamma-aminobutyric acid, GABA), the latter in a pyridoxal phosphate-independent manner (By similarity). Essential for proliferation of fetal skin fibroblasts.[2] References
