200 mM L-Glutamine, 50 mL

L-glutamine is an important amino acid supplement commonly added to mammalian cell culture media. L-glutamine supports the growth of cells in cell culture by serving as an auxiliary energy source, especially when the cells are rapidly dividing. L-glutamine is also important in the production of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, amino sugars, glutathione, L-glutamate, other amino acids, and plays a role in protein synthesis and glucose production.
