Summary

Name GLS2
Full Name Glutaminase liver isoform, mitochondrial
Synonyms GLS, L-glutaminase, L-glutamine amidohydrolase | GA
Primary ID Q9UI32
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 4
Pathways Glutamine metabolism
Function 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.
