Glutaminase (GLS) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of glutamine to form glutamate as a part of the glutaminolysis pathway.
What is glutaminase used for?
Glutaminase is the enzyme which hydrolyses glutamine, the main respiratory fuel of the intestine, to yield glutamate and ammonia.
