This element is necessary for proper activation of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes, and this element is also given to patients suffering from prolidase deficiency.
This element is necessary for proper activation of glutamine synthetase in astrocytes, and this element is also given to patients suffering from prolidase deficiency. The enzyme catalase in Lactobacillus plantarum uses this element as a cofactor, while another enzyme containing this element catalyzes the formation of ornithine in the final step of the urea cycle; that enzyme is arginase. In eukaryotic mitochondria, a dismutase complex containing this element's cation oxidizes superoxide to form O2, and the oxygen evolving complex in plant chloroplasts has a notable metalloenzyme core containing calcium and this metal. However, this element may be better known for having a (*) plus 7 oxidation state as part of a potassium compound known to be a strong oxidizing agent in chemistry labs. For 10 points, name this trace nutrient and transition metal with symbol Mn.
