Category:GO:0036241 ! glutamate catabolic process to 4-hydroxybutyrate

name: glutamate catabolic process to 4-hydroxybutyrate
namespace: biological_process
def: "The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into 4-hydroxybutyrate." [GOC:bf, MetaCyc:PWY-4321]
comment: In the catabolism of glutamate in mammals, succinate semialdehyde is converted to succinate (see GO:0006540). Plants can utilize an alternative route, converting succinic semialdehyde to 4-hydroxybutyrate using gamma-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase.
synonym: "glutamate degradation to 4-hydroxybutyrate" EXACT [MetaCyc:PWY-4321]
