Glutamine Synthetase (GS) Assay Kit

Glutamine Synthetase (GS) Assay Kit 

Glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) is mainly present in plants and is one of the key enzymes for ammonia assimilation in organisms. It catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine from ammonium ions and glutamic acid. This reaction not only prevents excessive ammonium ions from exerting toxicity on organisms but also enables glutamine to serve as the main form for ammonia storage and transport.

In the presence of ATP and Mg2⁺, GS catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine from ammonium ions and glutamic acid. Glutamine is further converted into γ-glutamyl hydroxamic acid, which forms a red complex with iron under acidic conditions. This complex has a maximum absorption peak at 540 nm and can be determined using a spectrophotometer.
