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}. |Ank 2| |Ank| |Glutaminase| |glutaminase activity| |glutamine catabolic process| |glutamate biosynthetic process| |dicarboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |glutamine family amino acid biosynthetic process| |glutamine metabolic process| |glutamine family amino acid catabolic process| |glutamate secretion| |glutamate metabolic process| |acidic amino acid transport| |alpha-amino acid biosynthetic process| |glutamine family amino acid metabolic process| |dicarboxylic acid transport| |acid secretion| |cellular amino acid biosynthetic process| |dicarboxylic acid metabolic process| |alpha-amino acid catabolic process| |reactive oxygen species metabolic process| |amino acid transport| |cellular amino acid catabolic process| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |carboxylic acid catabolic process| |organic acid catabolic process| |carboxylic acid transport| |organic acid transport| |carboxylic acid biosynthetic process| |organic acid biosynthetic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |small molecule catabolic process| |organic anion transport| |anion transport| |small molecule biosynthetic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |secretion by cell| |organic acid metabolic process| |export from cell| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |secretion| |mitochondrion| |ion transport| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |regulation of cell death| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| |nitrogen compound transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp141|Nifurtimox 1μM R03 exp141]]|-1.89| |[[:results:exp64|Nocodazole 0.2μM R02 exp64]]|1.7| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
