Native Bovine L-Glutamic Dehydrogenase

L-glutamic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate. Mammalian forms of this enzyme, including this bovine form, can use either NADP (H) or NAD (H) as coenzymes. L-glutamic dehydrogenase plays a unique role in mammalian metabolism. The reverse reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is the only pathway by which ammonia can become bound to the α-carbon atom of an α-carboxylic acid and thus, is the only source of de novo amino acid synthesis in mammalian species.
