GDH2 Antibodies

Target Information

GDH2, also called glutamate dehydrogenase 2, is a plant enzyme that catalyzes reversible conversion between glutamate and 2 oxoglutarate with ammonium using NAD or NADP, linking carbon and nitrogen metabolism. GDH2 contributes to amino acid turnover, re assimilation of ammonium, and maintenance of cellular energy balance, especially under carbon starvation, senescence, or stress when alternative routes for nitrogen recycling are needed. It localizes mainly to mitochondria and can show condition dependent directionality, supporting either glutamate catabolism for energy or synthesis when ammonium must be incorporated. Expression of GDH2 responds to developmental cues and environmental factors such as drought, salinity, and pathogen challenge, and genetic studies indicate roles in resilience, nitrogen use efficiency, and modulation of redox and signaling networks connected to glutamate and organic acid pools.
