| glutamate formiminotransferase |
[EC 2.1.2.5] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer of a formimino group from formiminoglutamate to tetrahydrofolate, forming 5-formiminotetrahydrofolate. The reaction is a step in the degradation of histidine. The enzyme is bifunctional; it also contains a catalytic site with formiminotetrahydrofolate cyclodeaminase (q.v.) activity. Urinary excretion of formiminoglutamate and mental retardation have been associated with decreased enzyme activity, resulting from either a genetic disorder or a deficiency of tetrahydrofolate. Called also formiminotransferase.

| glutamate-ammonia ligase |
[EC 6.3.1.2] an enzyme of the ligase class that catalyzes the ATP-dependent amination of glutamate by ammonium ions to form glutamine. Called also glutamine synthetase.

| glutamate-cysteine ligase |
[EC 6.3.2.2] an enzyme of the ligase class that catalyzes the ATP-dependent formation of a peptide bond between the γ-carboxyl group of glutamate and the amino group of cysteine to form γ-glutamylcysteine as a step in the synthesis of glutathione.
