Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Glutamine synthetase
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. GS
  2. Glutamate decarboxylase
  3. Glutamate--ammonia ligase
Gene Name GLUL
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in glutamate-ammonia ligase activity
Specific Function 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.
