Glutaminase activities in normal and neoplastic tissues of the rat.

Summary Inherent and phosphate-activated glutaminases were present in 7 primary and transplanted rat tumors in amounts within the range covered by normal tissues. The activities found were approximately proportional to the growth rates of the tumors over a 3-fold range.
