GLS

This gene encodes the K-type mitochondrial glutaminase. The encoded protein is an phosphate-activated amidohydrolase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate and ammonia. This protein is primarily expressed in the brain and kidney plays an essential role in generating energy for metabolism, synthesizing the brain neurotransmitter glutamate and maintaining acid-base balance in the kidney. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Predicted location

Intracellular

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Proximal tubular cells, Excitatory neurons, Collecting duct cells)

Immune cell specificity

Low immune cell specificity

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (EFO-21, RPTEC TERT1)

Interaction

Homotetramer, dimer of dimers (PubMed:22538822, PubMed:26988803, PubMed:28526749, PubMed:29317493). The tetramers can assemble into rod-like oligomers (in vitro), but the physiological significance of this is not clear (By similarity). Interacts with RAF1 and MAP2K2 (PubMed:22538822). Interacts with ATCAY; the interaction is direct and may control GLS localization, negatively regulating its activity.

Molecular function

Hydrolase
