Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E; [4] the anionic form is known as glutamate) is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins.It is a non-essential nutrient for humans, meaning that the human body can synthesize enough for its use.
Glutamine (symbol Gln or Q) [3] is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide.

Glutamate is a very major constituent of a wide variety of proteins; consequently it is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. [1] Glutamate is formally classified as a non-essential amino acid, because it can be synthesized (in sufficient quantities for health) from α-ketoglutaric acid, which is produced as part of the citric acid cycle by a series of reactions whose ...
Glutamate transporters are a family of neurotransmitter transporter proteins that move glutamate – the principal excitatory neurotransmitter – across a membrane.The family of glutamate transporters is composed of two primary subclasses: the excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT) family and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) family.
In enzymology, a glutamin-(asparagin-)ase (EC 3.5.1.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. L-glutamine + H 2 O L-glutamate + NH 3. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamine and H 2 O, whereas its two products are L-glutamate and NH 3.
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate and NAD +, whereas its 4 products are L-glutamine, 2-oxoglutarate, NADH, and H +. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH 2 group of donors with NAD + or NADP + as acceptor. This enzyme participates in glutamate metabolism and nitrogen ...
