ENZYME entry: EC 1.4.1.13

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.4.1.13
Accepted Name
glutamate synthase (NADPH)
Alternative Name(s)
glutamate (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) synthase
glutamate synthetase (NADP)
glutamine amide-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (oxidoreductase, NADP)
glutamine-ketoglutaric aminotransferase
GOGAT
L-glutamate synthase
L-glutamate synthetase
NADPH-dependent glutamate synthase
NADPH-glutamate synthase
Reaction catalysed
2 L-glutamate + NADP(+) = L-glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The reaction takes place in the opposite direction.
  • The protein is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta.
  • The alpha subunit is composed of two domains, one hydrolyzing L-glutamine to NH3 and L-glutamate (cf. EC 3.5.1.2), the other combining the produced NH3 with 2-oxoglutarate to produce a second molecule of L-glutamate (cf. EC 1.4.1.4).
  • The beta subunit transfers electrons from the cosubstrate.
  • The NH3 is channeled through a 31 A channel in the active protein.
  • In the absence of the beta subunit, coupling between the two domains of the alpha subunit is compromised and some ammonium can be produced.
  • In the intact alphabeta complex, ammonia production only takes place as part of the overall reaction.
  • Formerly EC 2.6.1.53.
