Glutamine

Product introduction:

Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in human body. It is not only a regulator of DNA synthesis, an important energy material for RNA synthesis in mucosal cells, but also an important fuel for many immune cells in the immune system. Exercise affects the level of glutamine in the free amino acid pool, and the change of glutamine level reacts on immune cells to produce a series of chain reactions. Glutamine participates in many metabolic processes in the body and has attracted extensive attention in the treatment and prevention of some diseases.

CAS：61348-28-5

Molecular formula: C₁₀H₁₈N₂O₅

Molecular weight: 246.26

Structure:

Physical and chemical properties:

Glutamine, also known as α- Aminoglutamic acid, glutamic acid-5-amide. Those crystallized from water or dilute ethanol are completely opaque white orthorhombic acicular crystals (l-bodies). Odorless. Slightly sweet. There are l-bodies and DL bodies, and those naturally exist are l-bodies. The relative molecular weight is 146.15. The melting point of L-body is 185 ~ 186 ℃ (decomposition). Specific rotation + 9.2 ° (25 °, water). Insoluble in methanol, ethanol, ether, benzene, acetone, ethyl acetate and chloroform, soluble in water (g / ml): 0.018 at 0 ℃, 0.026 at 18 ℃ and 0.048 at 30 ℃. The aqueous solution is acidic. In case of acid and alkali instability, it can be hydrolyzed to glutamic acid. L-body crystallized from dilute acetone is prismatic, with a melting point of 185 ~ 186 ℃ (decomposition). The solubility is the same as that of L-body.

Product purpose:

It helps repair and build muscles, provides fuel for intestinal cells, and is an important part of the body's immune response. These benefits help accelerate the recovery of burns, open ulcers and injuries, and reduce the risk of infection after surgery. When the body is under severe physiological stress (such as severe burns, trauma or severe infection), the amount of glutamine required will be more than the amount of muscle storage. If it is not taken through health care products or diet, there will be risks such as slow wound healing and easy infection.
