General description

Ala-Gln supplement provides a stable form of L-glutamine while in solution.

Application

Ala-Gln has been used as a supplement in Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) media-rich in glucose and pyruvate to culture luciferase-expressing MDA-MB-231-luc tumor cells to measure the bioluminescence signals of cells leaking during intra-bone marrow transplantation (IBMT) from dissected long bones. It has also been used as a DMEM - high glucose media to culture human cell lines.

Other Notes

Contains the dipeptide L-Alanyl-L-glutamine. 200 mM supplied in 0.85% NaCl.
