Gene Description

GLUD1 encodes glutamate dehydrogenase 1, the major, ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial-matrix enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) with release of ammonia, using NAD(+) or NADP(+) as cofactor (EC 1.4.1.3). It is the central metabolic link between amino-acid/nitrogen metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, providing anaplerotic alpha-ketoglutarate and channeling ammonia toward the urea cycle. The mature enzyme (after cleavage of an N-terminal mitochondrial transit peptide) assembles into a homohexamer whose activity is tightly allosterically regulated: it is activated by ADP and L-leucine and inhibited by GTP and ATP, and it is inactivated by SIRT4-mediated ADP-ribosylation. The bulk of the protein localizes to the mitochondrial matrix, with a small pool in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm. In pancreatic beta-cells GLUD1 couples amino-acid catabolism to insulin secretion, and in the brain it contributes to turnover of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Dominant gain-of-function mutations that impair GTP inhibition cause the hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 6).

IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (PAN-GO) inference of the NAD(+)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase activity. This is the well-established catalytic activity of GLUD1 and is directly supported by human experimental data. Because GLUD1 is a genuine dual-cofactor enzyme using both NAD(+) and NADP(+), the umbrella term GO:0004353 [NAD(P)+] is the most representative core function; the NAD(+)-specific term is accurate as a component of that activity.

Summary: UniProt subcellular-location keyword mapping to endoplasmic reticulum. This reflects a genuine but minor extramitochondrial pool of GLUD1; it is not the core site of function.
Reason: UniProt records the ER location from PMID:19448744 (ECO:0000269), so this row carries the same claim as the IDA row. ORGANELLES check (2026-11-05): the only source is PMID:19448744 (abstract-only in cache), in which overexpressed hGDH1-EGFP in COS 7, HeLa, CHO, HEK293 and SH-SY5Y cells co-localized mainly with DsRed2-Mito and to a lesser extent with the co-transfected marker DsRed2-ER, and a ~95 kDa full-length (presequence-retaining) band fractionated with the ER-containing cytosol. GLUD1 has a mitochondrial presequence, no ER signal peptide, TM segment or retention motif, so any ER pool is on the cytosolic face and stays at the root with no ER membrane or lumen term. The row is kept as a minor non-core pool, as for AHCY in ER batch 1 (overexpressed fusion against an ER marker), deferring to the curator's full-text reading; MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED is a close alternative, since the ER signal comes only from overexpressed, tagged, unprocessed precursor and could be a targeting artefact.

Core Functions

L-glutamate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity: catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) with release of ammonia, using either NAD(+) or NADP(+) as the redox cofactor, in the mitochondrial matrix. This is the defining catalytic activity of GLUD1 and the central link between amino-acid/nitrogen metabolism and the TCA cycle.

ADP binding: binds ADP at a defined allosteric site, which activates the enzyme (and sensitizes it to L-leucine). ADP binding drives GLUD1 into its catalytically active state under conditions of high ADP:ATP ratio, integrating enzyme activity with cellular energy charge.
