D-glutaminase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a D-glutaminase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-glutamine + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ D-glutamate + NH₃

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-glutamine and H₂O, whereas its two products are D-glutamate and NH₃.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glutamine amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in d-glutamine and d-glutamate metabolism and nitrogen metabolism.
