General Description
• L-Alanyl-L-glutamine is a synthetic dipeptide that degrades to L-glutamine
Application
• L-Alanyl-L-glutamine can be used as a substitute for glutamine in mammalian cell culture media and is stable to heat-sterilization
• It is a stable Gln dipeptide, which protects mice against the jejunal crypt depletion in the setting of dietary protein and fat deficiency
• It improves pancreatic beta-cell function, maintaining the mitochondrial metabolism and stimulus-secretion coupling essential for insulin release
• When this dipeptide is added to cultures of antibody-producing CHO cells in vitro, it reduces apoptosis and promotes antibody production
