GLUTAMATE DEHYDROGENASE

subject: Glutamate Dehydrogenase= GLDH. Involved in NH3+ production as well as alpha keto glutarate. Activated by ATP ( increased ATP/ADP ratio ), valine. ADP, Leucine, isoleucine, ALLOSTERIC CONTROL. PRODUCES NADH, ATP. HELPS TO PRODUCE INSULIN RELEASE ESPECIALLY IN FACE OF HYPOGLYCEMIA. iNCREASED GLUCOSE MEANS DECREASED GLDH ACTIVITY.VIA LEUCINE/GLUTAMATE CONTROL OF GLDH

misc: Involved in Glucose (insulin metabolism) and TCA Cycle (isoleucine) as well as urea cycles (alpha keto glutarate) oxalo acid).The control of GDH through ADP-ribosylation is particularly important in insulin-producing β cells. Beta cells secrete insulin in response to an increase in the ATP:ADP ratio, and, as amino acids are broken down by GDH into α-ketoglutarate, this ratio rises and more insulin is secreted. SIRT4 is necessary to regulate the metabolism of amino acids as a method of controlling insulin secretion and regulating blood glucose levels. bit.ly/1zst5GZ
