Anti-cancer effect of L-Glutaminase on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Raji), breast cancer (MCF7) and colorectal cancer (A549) cell lines

Abstract

Cancer Science & Pediatrics 2019 Background: There are lots of treatments for cancer but always enzymes are the most efficient. Glutamine can be used to support proliferation in multiple ways. It is a proteinogenic amino acid, and can be act as a nitrogen donor for the synthesis of amino acids as well as nucleotides biosynthesis in cellular processes. The presence of L-glutaminase has been reported in various organisms, including animals, plants, and microorganisms except humans. It’s a treatment enzyme for ALL and L-glutaminase also has proved ineffectual for treatment solid tumours such as breast cancer and colorectal. In following research Yarrowia yeast glutaminase is used.
