Gene Information

human ... GLS2(27165)

General description

Glutaminase 2 (GLS2) is located in mitochondria and nucleus. The gene is located on human chromosome 12q13. GLS2 protein is expressed in brain, pancreas, cancer cells and cells of the immune system.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human GLS2

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutaminase 2 (GLS2) is a mitochondrial phosphate-activated glutaminase that catalyses the hydrolysis of glutamine to stoichiometric amounts of glutamate and ammonia. This protein is functionally similar to the kidney glutaminase but is a little smaller in size. Originally thought to be liver-specific, this protein has been found in other tissues as well.
GLS2 functions as a tumor protein p53 downstream target gene. GLS2 controls the functions of p53, in modulating energy metabolism and antioxidant defense. It might play a critical role in tumorigenesis. The protein negatively controls PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) /AKT (non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase) signalling pathway. GLS2 regulates the neuronal effects of tumor protein p73. The protein might have a pivotal role in radioresistance in cervical cancer patients.
