Glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2, glutaminase I, L-glutaminase, glutamine aminohydrolase) is an amidohydrolase enzyme that generates glutamate from glutamine. Glutaminase has tissue-specific isoenzymes. Glutaminase has an important role in glial cells. Glutaminase catalyzes the following reaction: Glutamine + H 2 O → glutamate + NH + 4
Catalyzing enzyme: glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2) 2. Glutamate can be excreted or can be further metabolized to α-ketoglutarate. For the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate three different reactions are possible: Catalyzing enzymes: glutamate dehydrogenase (GlDH), EC 1.4.1.2
Examples of foods made using transglutaminase include imitation crabmeat, and fish balls. It is produced by Streptomyces mobaraensis fermentation in commercial quantities ( P81453 ) or extracted from animal blood, [ 13 ] and is used in a variety of processes, including the production of processed meat and fish products.
In enzymology, a NAD + synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing) (EC 6.3.5.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. ATP + deamido-NAD + + L-glutamine + H 2 O AMP + diphosphate + NAD + + L-glutamate. In eukaryotes, this enzyme contains a glutaminase domain related to nitrilase. [1]
Examples include the synthesis of nucleotides and non-essential amino acids. [18] One of the most important functions of glutamine is its ability to be converted into α-KG, which helps to maintain the flow of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, generating ATP via the electron carriers NADH and FADH 2 .

In enzymology, a glutamine-pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. L-glutamine + pyruvate 2-oxoglutaramate + L-alanine. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamine and pyruvate, whereas its two products are 2-oxoglutaramate and L-alanine.
Transamination is a chemical reaction that transfers an amino group to a ketoacid to form new amino acids.This pathway is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids. This is one of the major degradation pathways which convert essential amino acids to non-essential amino acids (amino acids that can be synthesized de novo by the organism).
In enzymology, a D-glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction D-glutamine + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } D-glutamate + NH 3 Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glutamine and H 2 O , whereas its two products are D-glutamate and NH 3 .
