L GLUTAMINE FOR BIOCHEMISTRY
SKU: RXSOL-60-6604-826
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.
Application
Glutamine is a nonessential amino acid. Glutamine can donate the ammonia on its side chain to the formation of urea (for eventual excretion by the kidneys) and to purines (necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids). ... Glutamine may become a conditionally essential amino acid during certain catabolic states.
Dosage
Glutamine plays a role in a variety of biochemical functions: Protein synthesis, as any other of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. Lipid synthesis, especially by cancer cells. Regulation of acid-base balance in the kidney by producing ammonium.
