Function
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) catalyzes the reversible conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate and ammonium. The ammonia is removed via the urea cycle. NAD or NADP is a cofactor in GLDH activity. NAD is a cofactor in the forward reaction while NADP is a cofactor in the reverse reaction. GLDH is regulated by the cell’s energy state. ATP and GTP inhibit the enzyme while ADP, GDP and leucine positively enhance it[1]. Glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLDH1) catalyzes the deamination of glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate and ammonium. GLDH1 is regulated in the same manner as GLDH.
Relevance
Elevated GLDH values in blood serum indicate liver malfunction.
