Protein Function Glutamine synthetase assimilates ammonium into amino acids, thus it is a key enzyme for nitrogen metabolism.The cytosolic isoenzymes of glutamine synthetase assimilate ammonium derived from primary nitrogen uptake and from various internal nitrogen recycling pathways.
Biochemical Properties Some key domains of the GS protein are ATP-binding and glutamate-binding sites.
