== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Plays an important role in the regulation of glutamine catabolism. Promotes mitochondrial respiration and increases ATP generation in cells by catalyzing the synthesis of glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate. Increases cellular anti-oxidant function via NADH and glutathione production. May play a role in preventing tumor proliferation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20378837}.
