| glutamate racemase | <enzyme> Catalyses the conversion of l-glutamate to d-glutamate; muri protein was isolated from e. Coli Registry number: EC 5.1.1.3 Synonym: muri protein, muri gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutamate receptor | <physiology> See amino acid receptor superfamily. Glutamate receptors are implicated in many important brain functions including long-term potentiation (LTP). at least 4 major glutamate gated ion channel subtypes are presently distinguished on pharmacological grounds, named after their most selective agonists: N methyl D aspartate (NMDA implicated in memory and learning, neuronal cell death, ischaemia and epilepsy), kainic acid (KA), quisqualate/AMPA and L 2 amino 4 phosphobutyrate (APB). A fifth subtype (APCD) trans 1 amino cyclopentane 1,3 dicarboxylate is a G-protein coupled receptor. (18 Nov 1997) |

| glutamate-ammonia ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of ATP, l-glutamate, and nh3 to ADP, orthophosphate, and l-glutamine. It also acts more slowly on 4-methylene-l-glutamate. Chemical name: L-Glutamate:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.3.1.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glutamate-cysteine ligase | <enzyme> One of the enzymes active in the gamma-glutamyl cycle. It catalyses the synthesis of gamma-glutamylcysteine from glutamate and cysteine in the presence of ATP with the formation of ADP and orthophosphate. Chemical name: L-Glutamate:L-cysteine gamma-ligase (ADP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.3.2.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glutamate-saemialdehyde dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Converts 5-glutamyl phosphate to glutamate 5-saemialdehyde in the presence of NADPH; see also glutamic-gamma-saemialdehyde dehydrogenase which catalyses the oxidation of 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate to l-glutamate in the presence of nad Registry number: EC 1.2.1.41 Synonym: beta-glutamylphosphate reductase, glutamate 5-saemialdehyde dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamylphosphate reductase, proa gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| glutamate-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates glutamic acid with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Glutamate:tRNA(Glu) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.17 (12 Dec 1998) |
| glutamates | Salts and esters of glutamic acid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glutamic | <chemistry> Of or pertaining to gluten. Glutamic acid, a nitrogenous organic acid obtained from certain albuminoids, as gluten. Synonym: amido-glutaric acid. Origin: Gluten + -amic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| glutamic acid | <amino acid> One of the 20 _ amino acids commonly found in proteins. Plays a central role in amino acid metabolism, acting as precursor of glutamine, proline and arginine. Also acts as amino group donor in synthesis by transamination of alanine from pyruvate and aspartic acid from oxaloacetate. Glutamate is also a neurotransmitter, the product of its decarboxylation is the inhibitory neurotransmitter amino butyrate (GABA). (18 Nov 1997) |
| glutamic acid dehydrogenases | Enzymes that catalyze the reaction of l-glutamate, H2O, and NAD+ (or NADP+ in some cases) producing alpha-ketoglutarate (2-oxoglutarate), ammonia, and NADH; in mammals, this is the prime contributor to oxidative deamination. Synonym: glutamic acid dehydrogenases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glutamic acid hydrochloride | A gastric acidifier alleged to aid in digestion; also used for gastric HCl replacement therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
