An abundant non-essential amino acid involved in many metabolic processes. Synthesized from glutamic acid and ammonia, it is the principal carrier of nitrogen. It is an important energy source for many cells. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006

Glutamine is metabolized to other amino acids, including glutamate, alanine, citrulline and arginine. Glutamine's associated disorders are urea cycle defects and it may be elevated in urine in citullinemia, Hartnup disease, and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. Source: Regenstrief Institute
