Glutamine synthetase
EN
Glutamine synthetase (GS) catalyses the incorporation of ammonium to glutamate for glutamine biosynthesis, the first step in inorganic nitrogen incorporation into amino acids.
In higher plants, GS is responsible for the assimilation of ammonium coming from the soil, nitrogen fixation or nitrate reduction (primary sources).
In addition, GS has a function in the reassimilation of ammonium released during several metabolic processes (secondary sources), including protein and amino acid catabolism, photorespiration and the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids.
