Product name:Glutamate dehydrogenase
CAS:9029-12-3
Specification:10ku
Description:
Glutamate dehydrogenase is an enzyme, present in most microbes and the mitochondria of eukaryotes, as are some of the other enzymes required for urea synthesis, that converts glutamate to α-Ketoglutarate, and vice versa. In animals the produced ammonia is, however, usually bled off to the urea cycle. In bacteria the ammonia is assimilated to amino acids via glutamate and amidotransferases. In plants the enzyme can work in either direction depending on environment and stress.Transgenic plants expresing microbial GDHs are improved in tolerance to herbicide, water deficit and pathogen infections.They are more nutritionally valuable.
