Glutamate-anaplerotic pathway control state
Description
G: Glutamate as the sole fuel substrate is transported by the electroneutral glutamate-/OH- exchanger, and is oxidised via glutamate dehydrogenase in the mitochondrial matrix.
Abbreviation: G

Details
In human skeletal muscle mitochondria, OXPHOS capacity with glutamate alone is 50% to 85% of respiration with Glutamate&Malate. Accumulation of fumarate inhibits succinate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase. Glutamate derived from hydrolyzation of glutamine is an important aerobic substrate in cultured cells. Mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase is particularly active in astrocytes, preventing glutamate induced neurotoxicity. mtNAD-malic enzyme supports an anaplerotic pathway when carbohydrate is limiting.
