Description

Application

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

L-Glutamine is an essential amino acid that is a crucial component of culture media that serves as a major energy source for cells in culture. L-Glutamine is very stable as a dry powder and as a frozen solution. In liquid media or stock solutions, however, L-glutamine degrades relatively rapidly. Optimal cell performance usually requires supplementation of the media with L-glutamine prior to use.

Packaging

50 mL amber serum vial with rubber stopper.

Preparation Note

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

Other Notes

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.
