The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout

Glutamine from the astrocytes is exported to the extracellular compartment via the system N amino acid transporter. The system N transporter is Na+ dependant transporter that has substrate specificity to aspargine, glutamine and histidine.
