Gene information for GLS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27165
Official gene symbolGLS2
Full nameglutaminase 2 (liver, mitochondrial)
Aliases,GA,GLS,LGA,MGC71567,hLGA,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a mitochondrial phosphate-activated glutaminase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to stoichiometric amounts of glutamate and ammonia. This protein is functionally similar to the kidney glutaminase but is a little smaller in size. Originally thought to be liver-specific, this protein has been found in other tissues as well. At least one transcribed pseudogene has been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
