Glud1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Glud1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
