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.

The activity of bovine liver glutamate dehydrogenase is affected in several ways depending on substrate concentrations and pH. At ph 6.5 and below, both oxidative deamination and reductive amination reactions are inhibited by ADP. At pH 7.0 and above both

In steady-state kinetic studies of ox liver glutamate dehydrogenase in 0.11 M-potassium phosphate buffer, pH7, at 25 degrees C, the concentration of ADP was varied from 0.5 to 1000 microM. Inhibition was observed except when the concentrations of both glutamate

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
