GLUD2
Sign in to saveAlso known as GDH2, GLUDP1, glutamate dehydrogenase 2
Glutamate dehydrogenase 2, mitochondrial, also known as GDH 2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GLUD2 gene. This dehydrogenase is one of the family of glutamate dehydrogenases that are ubiquitous in life.
Gene data
GLUD2- Name
- glutamate dehydrogenase 2
- Type
- protein-coding
- Chromosome
- X
- Aliases
- GDH2, GLUDP1
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].
