The mass of GLUD1 is approximately 61 kDa and it is expressed in multiple tissues with high levels in the liver brain and pancreas. GLUD2 is expressed mainly in the brain. These enzymes are integral for regulating amino acid metabolism and are activated by ADP and inhibited by GTP.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nGLUD1 and GLUD2 influence cellular energy homeostasis by modulating levels of glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate. They function as homodimers or heterodimers and play a role in neurotransmitter cycling in neural tissues. This involvement in neurotransmitter metabolism is significant as they ensure glutamate levels remain balanced preventing excitotoxicity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nGLUD1 and GLUD2 participate in the urea cycle and glutamate metabolism. They work alongside other enzymes like glutamine synthetase and aspartate aminotransferase to maintain nitrogen and energy balance in cells. Glutamine synthetase helps convert the ammonia released into glutamine which is vital for cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nGLUD1 is linked to hyperinsulinism\/hyperammonemia syndrome caused by mutations that lead to dysregulated insulin secretion. Disruptions in GLUD2 activity have implications in neurological disorders such as schizophrenia where it affects glutamate signaling. Both enzymes interact with insulin pathways and can influence disease states through these interactions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854098059433,"sku":"ab154027","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab154027","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
