Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlutamic acid gamma-methyl ester
DescriptionL-Glutamic acid 5-methyl ester, also known as poly(gamma-methyl L-glutamate) or PGMGT, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamic acid and derivatives. Glutamic acid and derivatives are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Glutamic acid 5-methyl ester is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
