Application
High molecular weight poly-γ-glutamic acid (γPGA) was found to increase levels of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity and INF-γ secretion in C57BL/6 mice. Biodegradable γ-PGA nanoparticles have been evaluated for use as antigen delivery carriers and delivery of influenza virus hemagglutin (HA) vaccine. Additional life science applications for γ-PGA include uses in biodegradable fibers and nanofiber sheets, hydrogels, and cryoprotectants.
Other Notes
High molecular weight poly-γ-glutamic acid is a polymer of glutamic acid connected by amide linkages between α-amino and γ-carboxylic acid groups. γ-PGA is produced by fermentation in Bacillus species. The subunits are predominantly L-isomer.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-gamma-glutamic acid (gamma-PGA) is a most promising biodegradable polymer that is produced by Bacillus subtilis (chungkookjang). Attractive properties of gamma-PGA are that it is water soluble, anionic, biodegradable, and edible. Development of gamma-PGA has pursued in terms of cosmetics/skin
