GS catalyzes the formation of glutamine from intracellular glutamate and free ammonia, and tumor cell glutamine synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of endogenous glutamine, which is an important source of substrates for the metabolism of glutamine fermentation and a major metabolic pathway for the metabolite ammonia.GS is up-regulated in cancers such as gliomas, ovarian cancers, and breast cancers, and is known to contribute to the growth and proliferation process of a variety of tumors(Menga et al
