Description

Application

A substrate for pyroglutamate aminopeptidase. Used for differentiation of Group A streptococci and enterococci from other streptococci.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyroglutamic acid is known to participate in the gamma-glutamyl cycle. Recent studies show that a congenital metabolic error was associated with increased pyroglutamic excretion in urine.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
