Immunogen
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide which is a part of part of the glutamine synthetase/guanido kinase superfamily catalytic region chosen from various available sequences, including Arabidopsis thaliana GLN2, UniProt: Q43127, TAIR: AT5G35630
Background
Glutamine synthetase (GLN or GS) is one of the key enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism of plants. It catalyses the synthesis of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia in an ATP-dependent reaction. There are two general classes of glutamine synthetase in plants: GLN1, a cytosolic form and GLN2, a chloroplastic form. GLN2 is encoded by a single gene and is highly abundant in mesophyll cells of leaves for the assimilation of ammonia produced from photorespiration and the reduction of nitrate in the chloroplasts. GLN2 is a target for thioredoxin.
