Description
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]
Catalyzes the first reaction in the primary pathway for the renal catabolism of glutamine. Plays a role in maintaining acid-base homeostasis. Regulates the levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in the brain. Isoform 2 lacks catalytic activity.CautionIsoform 3 is predicted to be expressed at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (PubMed:14759258), but has been shown to be well expressed (PubMed:17940881 and PubMed:11015561) and the encoded protein is detected in mitochondria (PubMed:22228304)
