“Limited glutamine availability also prevents CD8 T-cell dysfunction induced by menin deficiency, and its inhibitory effect is antagonized by α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), an intermediate metabolite of glutaminolysis.”
“In the presence of glutamine the addition of 0.5 mM α-ketoglutarate decreased the deamidation of [U- 14 c]-glutamine, a finding which was accompanied by significant amination of [U- 14 c]-α-ketoglutarate.”

“High glutamate/glutamine concentrations abolish the need for glutamate production from α-ketoglutarate and due to metabolic coupling between glutamate synthesis and oxidation these high concentrations render AAT-mediated glutamate oxidation impossible.”
