Metabolite Identification
Common NameN2-gamma-Glutamylglutamine
DescriptionN2-gamma-Glutamylglutamine, also known as gamma-L-Glu-L-Gln or L-gamma-glutamyl-L-glutamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dipeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of exactly two alpha-amino acids joined by a peptide bond. N2-gamma-Glutamylglutamine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). N2-gamma-Glutamylglutamine is a dipeptide obtained from the condensation of the gamma-carboxy group of glutamic acid with the alpha-amino group of glutamine. Some dipeptides are known to have physiological or cell-signalling effects although most are simply short-lived intermediates on their way to specific amino acid degradation pathways following further proteolysis.
