Cytosolic glutamine synthetase (glutamate-ammonia ligase - GLUL) catalyzes the reaction of glutamate, ammonia, and ATP to form glutamine, ADP, and orthophosphate. The enzyme is a decamer (Krajewski et al. 2008). Mutations in the gene encoding GLUL cause glutamine deficiency in vivo (Haberle et al. 2005).
