Protein
Glutaminase liver isoform, mitochondrial
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the glutaminase family.
