Glutamine is the most abundant non-essential amino acid in the human body
This means that the body can usually produce it itself. Endogenous synthesis is greatest in the muscles, lungs, adipose tissue and brain. Under certain circumstances, glutamine synthesis may not be sufficient to meet demand. For this reason, glutamine is also considered semi-essential. Glutamine is (together with the amino acids cysteine and glycine) a building block for glutathione. Around 500 amino acids occur in nature. Twenty of these are amino acids that serve as building blocks for the proteins in the human body; these are referred to as "basic amino acids". These basic amino acids can be divided into the categories "essential", "semi-essential" and "non-essential".
Functions of L-glutamine
L-glutamine is not one of the essential amino acids, because our body can synthesise it from L-glutamic acid with the help of the enzyme glutamine synthetase. L-glutamic acid is also an amino acid closely related to L-glutamine.
Part of the L-glutamine is converted into glutamic acid in the brain. Glutamic acid can metabolise ammonia. In addition, L-glutamine is a precursor of glutathione, the most important antioxidant in our body.
If the body is supplied with too few carbohydrates, the liver can form glucose from the amino acids L-glutamine and L-alanine. If no free L-glutamine is available, the liver draws on the reserves in the muscles.
