Glutaminase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of glutamine, an amino acid that is often utilized by cancer cells for growth and proliferation. In many cancers, including glioblastoma, leukemia, and certain types of solid tumors, glutamine metabolism is upregulated, allowing cancer cells to meet their increased energy and biosynthetic demands.
Glutamine Addiction: Many cancer cells exhibit a phenomenon known as "glutamine addiction," where they rely heavily on glutamine for survival and growth. This is particularly evident in rapidly proliferating tumors.
Glutaminase catalyzes the conversion of glutamine to glutamate, which can then enter various metabolic pathways, including the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. This process is essential for providing energy and building blocks for nucleotides and amino acids.
Inhibitors of glutaminase are being investigated in preclinical and clinical studies as a means to starve cancer cells of glutamine and inhibit their growth.

GLS expression is often elevated in various cancers and is generally associated with poorer prognosis due to its role in supporting the metabolic needs of cancer cells.
