Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Ac-Gln-Gln-OH
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that is found in the cell in large amounts. It functions as a precursor of glutamate, an important neurotransmitter and intermediate in protein synthesis. Glutamine also has antioxidant properties, which may be due to its ability to donate hydrogen atoms or act as a reducing agent. Glutamine can be synthesized by glutaminase from glutamate and ammonia, but it can also be obtained from dietary sources. The uptake of glutamine is rapid at low concentrations, but becomes slower at higher concentrations. Glutamine is catabolized by the liver and kidney into glutamate and ammonia.; Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate, producing NADH and H+.; The genetic mechanisms underlying the synthesis of glutamine are not well understood; however, one hypothesis states that glutamine could be synthesized from alpha-ketoglutarate via the reverse transamination reaction during periods when glucose
