spinqualitylabelsall models Glutamate dehydrogenase complex with glutamate (PDB entry 1bgv) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Contents 1 Function 2 Relevance 3 Disease 4 Structural highlights 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[2]. Relevance Elevated GLDH values in blood serum indicate liver malfunction. Disease Mutations in GLDH1 are associated with familial hyperinsulinism[3]. Structural highlights The is in a cleft between the two domains of the enzyme with [4]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
