Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Involved in glutamine metabolic process and tricarboxylic acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of insulin secretion. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; metanephros; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 6; hyperinsulinism; and hypoglycemia. Orthologous to several human genes including GLUD1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditionally allele activated in beta cells exhibit reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and disorganization of pancreatic islets.
