Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=P49915-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=P49915-2; Sequence=VSP_053933; Note=No experimental confirmation available.;
Catalytic ActivityATP + XMP + L-glutamine + H(2)O = AMP + diphosphate + GMP + L-glutamate.
DiseaseNote=A chromosomal aberration involving GMPS is found in acute myeloid leukemias. Translocation t(3,11)(q25,q23) with KMT2A/MLL1.
FunctionInvolved in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides which are not only essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, but also provide GTP, which is involved in a number of cellular processes important for cell division.
PathwayPurine metabolism; GMP biosynthesis; GMP from XMP (L-Gln route): step 1/1.
SimilarityContains 1 glutamine amidotransferase type-1 domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00605}.
