Description: L-Glutamine (L-Glutamic acid 5-amide), a non-essential amino acid, is synthesized from glutamic acid and ammonia. Target: Ferroptosis, GluR, Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: [C@H](CCC(N)=O)(C(O)=O)N. References: Sessa WC, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A,1990, 87(21), 8607-8611.

L-Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid involved in many biochemical processes. It is synthesized in vivo by glutamate and ammonia. It serves as a substrate for glutamine synthetase in neurons for the biosynthesis of the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. L-Glutamine...

Soluble in water (30 mg/ml).

L-Glutamine is an amino acid and is essential in the formation of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, amino sugars, glutathione, L-glutamate and other amino acids as well as in protein synthesis and glucose production. It plays also a role in lipid synthesis (e.g. in cancer cells), cellular energy as a source next to...

L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell...
