molecular function |
| GO:0004359 | | glutaminase activity | | Catalysis of the reaction: L-glutamine + H2O = L-glutamate + NH3. |
| GO:0016787 | | hydrolase activity | | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of various bonds, e.g. C-O, C-N, C-C, phosphoric anhydride bonds, etc. Hydrolase is the systematic name for any enzyme of EC class 3. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
biological process |
| GO:0008652 | | cellular amino acid biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. |
| GO:0007268 | | chemical synaptic transmission | | The vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse. |
| GO:0006537 | | glutamate biosynthetic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glutamate, the anion of 2-aminopentanedioic acid. |
| GO:0014047 | | glutamate secretion | | The controlled release of glutamate by a cell. The glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the nervous system. |
| GO:0006543 | | glutamine catabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamine, 2-amino-4-carbamoylbutanoic acid. |
| GO:0006541 | | glutamine metabolic process | | The chemical reactions and pathways involving glutamine, 2-amino-4-carbamoylbutanoic acid. |
| GO:0051289 | | protein homotetramerization | | The formation of a protein homotetramer, a macromolecular structure consisting of four noncovalently associated identical subunits. |
| GO:0002087 | | regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange by neurological system process | | A process carried out by the nervous system that is required for the proper control of respiratory gaseous exchange. This process occurs in the respiratory center of the brain in vertebrates. |
| GO:0001967 | | suckling behavior | | Specific behavior of a newborn or infant mammal that results in the derivation of nourishment from the breast. |
cellular component |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0005829 | | cytosol | | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
| GO:0005759 | | mitochondrial matrix | | The gel-like material, with considerable fine structure, that lies in the matrix space, or lumen, of a mitochondrion. It contains the enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and, in some organisms, the enzymes concerned with fatty acid oxidation. |
| GO:0005739 | | mitochondrion | | A semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. |
