Gamma-glutamylhistamine synthase
In enzymology, a gamma-glutamylhistamine synthase (EC 6.3.2.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + L-glutamate + histamine
products of ATP breakdown + Nalpha-gamma-L-glutamylhistamine
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, L-glutamate, and histamine, whereas its two products are products of ATP breakdown and Nalpha-gamma-L-glutamylhistamine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamate:histamine ligase. Other names in common use include gamma-glutaminylhistamine synthetase, and gamma-GHA synthetase.
