GlossaryGlutaminolysis

metabolic process breaking down glutamine for energy and growth

Glutaminolysis is a metabolic process where the amino acid glutamine is broken down to produce energy and other molecules that cells need to grow and function. This pathway is particularly important in rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, which rely on glutaminolysis to meet their increased energy and biosynthetic demands.
