GLUD2 - glutamate dehydrogenase 2

Entrez Gene Name: glutamate dehydrogenase 2
Entrez GeneID: Human(2747), Mouse(104277)
Synonyms: EG545999, GDH2, GLUD2, GLUDP1, Gm5902, LOC638434

Gene Summary

  • Human (2747): The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion and acts as a homohexamer to recycle glutamate during neurotransmission. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate. This gene is intronless.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
