Quality Biological Glutamine XL (dipeptide, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, 200mM) 100ml

Description

Glutamine XL is a chemically stable dipeptide useful as a cell culture media supplement as a replacement for unstable solutions of L-Glutamine.

• Stable L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine in physiological saline

Applications

Standard, unstabilized solutions of L-glutamine spontaneously break down over time to release cytotoxic amines. Glutamine XL is a stabilized solution that prevents degradation and cytotoxicity, with the benefit of a long shelf life.

The incorporated L-alanine protects the unstable alpha amino acid group of L-glutamine. Aminopeptidase within the cells cleaves the dipeptide, gradually releasing both L-glutamine and L- alanine for use by the cell.
