Template:STRUCTURE 4bqm

Crystal structure of human liver-type glutaminase, catalytic domain

Function

[GLSL_HUMAN] Plays an important role in the regulation of glutamine catabolism. Promotes mitochondrial respiration and increases ATP generation in cells by catalyzing the synthesis of glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate. Increases cellular anti-oxidant function via NADH and glutathione production. May play a role in preventing tumor proliferation.[1]
