General annotation (Comments)

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. Ref.6

Catalytic activity

L-glutamine + H2O = L-glutamate + NH3.

Subunit structure

Interacts with the PDZ domain of the syntrophin SNTA1. Interacts with the PDZ domain of TAX1BP3. Ref.5

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion Ref.6.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in liver. Expressed in brain and pancreas. Not observed in heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expression is significantly reduced in hepatocellular carcinomas. Ref.1 Ref.6

Induction

Up-regulated by P53 (at protein and mRNA level) under both stressed and non-stressed conditions. Ref.6

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glutaminase family.

Contains 2 ANK repeats.
