Description

D-Glutamic acid is an essential constituent of the bacterial peptidoglycan structure. D-glutamate has been detected in blood, saliva, and urine, and trace quantities have been detected in mammalian tissues. Recently was found, that mitochondrial D-glutamate cyclase converts D-glutamate to 5-oxo-D-proline.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
500 ml water plus 2 g (13.3 mmol) of D-glutamate was ingested within a 20-min period 1 h after a light breakfast (coffee, toast, and juice).
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
To investigate roles of 9030617O03Rik in D-glutamate metabolism, it was analyzed enzyme activity using cloned and purified the 9030617O03Rik protein. Following the purification of recombinant 9030617O03Rik, D-glutamate (10 mM as a substrate) degradation activity was confirmed. The in vitro enzyme assay showed no glutamate racemase activity or D-glutamate oxidase activity of the protein.
