Identification
Name:Glutamyl-tRNA reductase
Synonyms:
  • GluTR
Gene Name:hemA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in glutamyl-tRNA reductase activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of glutamyl- tRNA(Glu) to glutamate 1-semialdehyde (GSA). In the absence of NADPH, exhibits substrate esterase activity, leading to the release of glutamate from tRNA
Cellular Location:Not Available
