Application

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of NH3, α-ketoglutaric acid and L-glutamic acid, and for assay of leucine aminopeptidase and urease. This enzyme is also used for enzymatic determination of urea when coupled with urease (URH-201) in clinical analysis. In vitro, various activity assays of this enzyme examine the conversion of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate, in the presence of excess ammonium ions (NH4+) and NADPH.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-glutamic dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate.

Physical form

Solution in 50 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.8, 5 mM Na2EDTA containing 0.05% sodium azide

Other Notes

Note: Do not confuse with non-specific L-GLDH, EC 1.4.1.3.
One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of α-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate per min at pH 8.3 at 30 °C in the presence of ammonium ions and NADPH.

Excessive ammonium blood concentration causes many serious neurological complications. The medications currently used are not very effective. To remove ammonium from the blood, erythrocyte-bioreactors containing enzymes that processing ammonium have been proposed. The most promising bioreactor contained co-encapsulated glutamate dehydrogenase
