Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Glutamine (Gln) is one of the most abundant amino acids containing an uncharged amide as a side chain. It is synthesized via condensation of glutamate and ammonia. Gln is classified as a non-essential amino acid, however, Gln is important in several biological processes such as protein synthesis, regulation of acid-balance in mammalian kidneys and cell growth. It constitutes cell's main source of nitrogen for the synthesis of nucleotides and hexosamines. Glutamine-rich diets benefit patients suffering from Crohn's disease, severe burns, HIV/AIDS and cancer. MyBioSource's Glutamine Colorimetric Assay kit is a simple and sensitive assay that detects the biologically relevant concentrations of Gln in various fluids and tissues. The assay is based on the hydrolysis of Glutamine to Glutamate producing a stable signal, which is directly proportional to the amount of Gln in the sample. The assay can detect as little as 25 uM of Gln in a variety of biological samples.

Product Notes
The Glutamine (Catalog #AAA841633) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of Glutamine in various biological samples. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Glutamine for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glutamine, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
