Predicted to enable glutaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glutamate homeostasis; glutamine family amino acid metabolic process; and protein homotetramerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange by nervous system process; and suckling behavior. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 71. Orthologous to human GLS (glutaminase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
