L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine A018-1G

产品介绍

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine (alanylglutamine; Ala-Gln) is a synthetic glutamine dipeptide molecule, consisting of two amino acids, L-glutamine and L-alanine. It is used as an essential supplement in cell culture. It has better solubility and stability than its constituent amino acid, L-glutamine, which degrades to pyroglutamate, thus can be used as an alternative form. L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine reduces the level of ammonia generated during cell culture compared to L-glutamine. Therefore, it can serve as a superior source of amino acids in cell culture. L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine can also enhance monoclonal antibody production in cell culture, with the productivity depending on cell line and culture conditions. The compound is also used as an alternative to L-glutamine in biopharmaceutical production. It also has immunostimulatory properties.

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine is soluble in water, and sparingly soluble in ethanol, DMSO and DMF.
