Glu(pNA) • H2O

CAS: 122864-94-2

Ref. 3D-SEN-3066

Product Information

• Name: Glu(pNA) • H2O
• Synonyms: L-Glutamic Acid γ-p-Nitroanilide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glu(pNA) • H2O is a substrate for the enzyme glutaminase, which hydrolyzes the peptide bond between glutamate and pyranose. The hydrolysis of Glu(pNA) • H2O to produce L-glutamic acid (Glu) and pyranose (pNA) is the first step in Glu metabolism. This reaction is important for both the production and degradation of Glu. In addition, Glu is a potent growth factor that plays a role in kidney physiology. The presence of this molecule in the extracellular space may indicate kidney disease or damage, as well as systemic effects on other organs.
