L-Glutamine (CAS 56-85-9) is an amino acid abundantly expressed in human tissues and utilized extensively in cell metabolism, particularly as a nitrogen and carbon donor. Mechanistically, L-glutamine serves as an essential substrate in glutaminolysis, fueling the synthesis of nucleotides and glutathione, and supporting energy production via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Owing to its central role in cellular metabolism and proliferation, L-glutamine is frequently investigated in research contexts involving gastrointestinal physiology, immune cell function, tissue repair processes, and tumor cell metabolism.
