Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for GLS(NM_001256310.2) Search again
Powered by BiozBy default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
Sahai (1983) [PubMed 6825316] demonstrated phosphate-activated glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2) in human platelets. It is the major enzyme yielding glutamate from glutamine. Significance of the enzyme derives from its possible implication in behavior disturbances in which glutamate acts as a neurotransmitter (Prusiner, 1981). High heritability of platelet glutaminase was indicated by studies of Sahai and Vogel (1983) [PubMed 6682827] who found an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.96 for monozygotic twins and 0.53 for dizygotic twins.[supplied by OMIM].
Gene References into function
- Data suggest that glutaminase is an important factor in melanoma cell proliferation.
- human neutrophils appeared to utilize glutamine and posess the appropriate glutaminase enzyme for metabolizing glutamine.
- possible role for intestinal glutaminase in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy
- K glutaminase isoform is up-regulated with increased rates of proliferation in cancer cells, whereas prevalence of the L isoform seems to be related with resting or quiescent cell states
