Glutamine synthetase is a genetic determinant of cell type-specific glutamine independence in breast epithelia.
Although significant variations in the metabolic profiles exist among different cells, little is understood in terms of genetic regulations of such cell type-specific metabolic phenotypes and nutrient requirements. While many cancer cells depend on exogenous glutamine for survival to justify the the...
