Application

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of NH3, α-ketoglutaric acid and L-glutamic acid, and for assay of leucine aminopeptidase and urease. This enzyme is also used for enzymatic determination of urea when coupled with urease (URH-201) in clinical analysis. In vitro, various activity assays of this enzyme examine the conversion of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate, in the presence of excess ammonium ions (NH4+) and NADPH.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-glutamic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate[1][2].

Physical properties

Isoelectric point : 4.6
Michaelis constants : 1.1 X 10-3M (NH3), 3.4 X 10-4M (α-Ketoglutarate)
1.2 X 10-3M (L-Glutamate), 1.4 X 10-5M (NADPH), 1.5 X 10-5M (NADP+)
Structure : 6 subunits (M.W.50,000) per mol of enzyme
Inhibitors : Hg++, Cd++, p-chloromercuribenzoate, pyridine, 4-4′-dithiopyridine,
2,2′-dithiopyridine
Optimum pH : 8.5 (α-KG→L-Glu) 9.8 (L-Glu→α-KG)
Optimum temperature : 45oC(α-KG−L-Glu) 45-55oC (L-Glu→α-KG)
pH stability : pH 6.0 - 8.5 (25oC, 20hr)
Thermal stability : below 50oC (pH 7.4, 10min)

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate per min at pH 8.3 at 30 °C in the presence of ammonium ions and NADPH.

Physical form

Solution in 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8, 5 mM Na2EDTA containing 0.05% sodium azide

Excessive ammonium blood concentration causes many serious neurological complications. The medications currently used are not very effective. To remove ammonium from the blood, erythrocyte-bioreactors containing enzymes that processing ammonium have been proposed. The most promising bioreactor contained co-encapsulated glutamate dehydrogenase

New morphological aspects of Penicillium chrysogenum were found during physiological characterisation of two NADPH-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase mutant strains. A morphological characterisation of the previously constructed strains, together with the two beta-lactam producing industrial recipient strains, was conducted. The reference strains

Biochemical and structural modifications were investigated in axenic cultured Trypanosoma cruzi after treatment with gangliosides. Fluorescence anisotropy showed dose dependent increments in parasite membranes of ganglioside treated epimastigotes. NADP-GDH activity increased in parasites treated at day 4 (13%), 7 (137.2%)
