{"symbol":"GLS2","synonyms":["HLGA","GLS","LGA"],"name":"glutaminase 2 (liver, mitochondrial)","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a mitochondrial phosphate-activated glutaminase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to stoichiometric amounts of glutamate and ammonia. Originally thought to be liver-specific, this protein has been found in other tissues as well. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms.
