Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
MK801 N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptor antagonist, activates the enzyme and inhibits osteogenic differentiation of the rat bone marrow stem cells Homo sapiens
additional information glucocorticoids induce the enzyme transcription and translation in osteoblasts Homo sapiens
additional information glucocorticoids induce the enzyme transcription and translation in osteoblasts, cortisol and two synthetic compounds dexamethasone and prednisolone highly stimulate enzyme expression. No effects by aldosterone, estradiol, progesterone, dihydrotestosterone, or triiodothyronine. Treatment of MG-63 cells with MG-132, an inhibitor of proteasomal degradation, at 0.02 mM blocks the dexamethasone-induction of glutamine synthetase activity almost completely Homo sapiens

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
methionine sulfoximine an irreversible, competitive inhibitor of glutamine synthetase activity Homo sapiens
additional information the canonical Wnt signalling pathway is a negative regulator of glutamine synthetase activity; the canonical Wnt signalling pathway is a negative regulator of glutamine synthetase activity. No effects by aldosterone, estradiol, progesterone, dihydrotestosterone, or triiodothyronine Homo sapiens
vitamin D 22% inhibition at 0.00001 mM, reduces dexamethasone induced increase in enzyme expression Homo sapiens
