lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain

GLULD1

glutamate-ammonia ligase (glutamine synthetase) domain containing 1

Lengsin

Glutamate-ammonia ligase domain-containing protein 1

Lens glutamine synthase-like

This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the GS I members of the glutamine synthetase superfamily. The encoded protein is referred to as a pseudo-glutamine synthetase because it has no glutamine synthesis activity and may function as a chaperone protein. This protein is localized to the lens and may be associated with cataract disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009].
