Glutamine synthetase
Definition:
EC Tree > 6 Ligases > 6.3 Forming carbon-nitrogen bonds > 6.3.1 Acid—ammonia (or amine) ligases (amide synthases) > 6.3.1.2 glutamine synthetase
Glutamine synthetase (GS) catalyzes the ATP-dependent incorporation of ammonium into L-glutamate: ATP plus L-glutamate plus ammonia yields ADP plus phosphate plus L-glutamine. It is a central enzyme of nitrogen metabolism found in all domains of life; several oligomeric types exist differing in quaternary structure and cofactor requirement. Structurally it is a GS-GOGAT-pathway enzyme.
