Glutamate degradation I (WP556)

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In S. cerevisiae, the main pathway for glutamate degradation is catalyzed by the glutamate dehydrogenase encoded by GDH2 (https://www.wikipathways.org/pathways/WP503.html). However, glutamate can also by degraded into gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) by the glutamate decarboxylase Gad1p and then converted into succinate by the enzymes encoded by UGA1 and UGA2. Based on Yeast Pathways https://pathway.yeastgenome.org/.
