Gene information for GLUD1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2746
Official gene symbolGLUD1
Full nameglutamate dehydrogenase 1
Aliases,GDH,GDH1,GLUD,MGC132003,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes glutamate dehydrogenase protein; a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate to alpha-ketoglutarate and ammonia. This enzyme has an important role in regulating amino acid induced insulin secretion and activating mutations in this gene are a common cause of congenital hyperinsulinism. This enzyme is allosterically activated by ADP and inhibited by GTP and ATP. The related glutamate dehydrogenase 2 gene on the human X-chromosome originated from this gene via retrotransposition and encodes a soluble form of glutamate dehydrogenase. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene are present in humans.
