The Role of Glutamine and Glutaminase in Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) refers to a clinical and pathophysiological syndrome in which pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure are increased due to structural or functional changes in pulmonary vasculature caused by a variety of ...

Expression of Gls and Gls2 glutaminase isoforms in astrocytes [PDF]
The expression of glutaminase in glial cells has been a controversial issue and matter of debate for many years. Actually, glutaminase is essentially considered as a neuronal marker in brain.

SNAP25 Inhibits Glioma Progression by Regulating Synapse Plasticity via GLS-Mediated Glutaminolysis
BackgroundNeuronal activity regulated by synaptic communication exerts an important role in tumorigenesis and progression in brain tumors. Genes for soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) annotated with the ...

Targeting glutaminase and mTOR
Comprehensive genomic and proteomic analyses demonstrate that there is nearly universal activation of the PI3K pathway in glioblastoma (GBM) patients [1]. Persistent PI3K signaling promotes GBM formation and tumor progression in genetic mouse models, establishing PI3K and its effecter mTOR as compelling molecular targets.

Cocaine modulates both glutaminase gene expression and glutaminase activity in the brain of cocaine-sensitized mice [PDF]
Glutaminase is considered the main Glutamate (Glu) producing enzyme. Two isoforms, liver (LGA) and kidney (KGA) type glutaminases have been identified in neurons.

ON THE PRESENCE OF GLUTAMINASE IN MUSCLE [PDF]
The glutaminase activity of rat cardiac and skeletal muscle has been investigated, and compared with that of rat kidney. Vmax per g. of protein was 42 µmole/hr for heart muscle homogenates and 478 µmole/hr for kidney homogenates. Glutaminase activity was not detectable in about 50 per cent of the skeletal muscle homogenates; in the other 50 per cent ...
