Term Name:	glutamate synthase (NADPH) activity
Synonyms:	glutamate (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) synthase activity, glutamate synthetase (NADP) activity, glutamine amide-2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (oxidoreductase, NADP) activity, glutamine-ketoglutaric aminotransferase activity, GOGAT activity, L-glutamate synthase activity, L-glutamate synthetase activity, L-glutamate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (transaminating), L-glutamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, NADPH oxidizing activity, NADPH GOGAT, NADPH-dependent glutamate synthase activity, NADPH-glutamate synthase activity, NADPH-linked glutamate synthase
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: 2 L-glutamate + NADP+ = 2-oxoglutarate + L-glutamine + H+ + NADPH. This is a two-step reaction: (a) L-glutamate + NH3 = L-glutamine + H2O, (b) L-glutamate + NADP+ + H2O = NH3 + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH + H+.
