Summary: Predicted to enable glutamine synthetase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutamine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in anterior gonad arm and germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital glutamine deficiency; epilepsy (multiple); heart disease; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GLUL (glutamate-ammonia ligase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
