L-Glutamine

L-Glutamine has been used as a media supplement:

• for cochlear organotypic culturing
• in Iscove′s modified Dulbecco′s medium for HeLa cells culturing
• in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium for primary hepatocyte cell culturing

Qualified for use in cell culture applications, especially serum-free cell culture.

Glutamine mediates protein turnover via cellular mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signalling. It is also known to be associated with the inhibition of apoptosis.

La L-glutamine est un acide aminé essentiel qui sert d′importante source d′énergie aux cellules en culture et constitue un composant crucial des milieux de culture. La L-glutamine est très stable sous forme de poudre sèche ou de solution congelée. Elle se dégrade toutefois assez rapidement dans les milieux liquides et les solutions mères. L′atteinte de performances cellulaires optimales nécessite généralement l′ajout d′un supplément en L-glutamine au milieu avant utilisation.

L-glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media, and serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the medium with L-glutamine prior to use.

50 mL amber serum vial with rubber stopper.

Prepares a 200 mM solution when reconstituted to 10 mL with sterile water.

The dipeptide L-Ala-LGln is frequently used in modern serum-free media formulations because it provides a more stable form of glutamine in vitro.
