What is the molecular weight (mw) of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH)?

Posted February 28, 2018

Answer

318 kDa

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) is a hexamer with a total molecular weight of 318 kD, which is equivalent to 318,000 g/mol. All six subunits are identical in GLDH with a molecular weight of 53,000 daltons each.
