Extra Details:: Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that is also an excitatory amino acid (EAA) because of its role in neurotransmission.1 Its name derives from its historical isolation from wheat gluten. A detailed review of the chemistry of glutamic acid has been published. 2 DL-Glutamic acid has been used as an energy source in the isolation of cultured Thiobacillus acidophilus.3 It has been utilized as a supplement in the diet of chicks and been shown to lead to grown depression.4 DL-Glutamic acid has been utilized as a nitrogen source for the culture of nematode eggs from Arkansas Fungus 18 (ARF18) and Pochonia chlamydospora var. chlamydospora.5 A method for the analysis of DL-glutamic acid and other amino acids via copper(II) ion, hydrogen peroxide, and pyrocathechol violet has been published.6 The resolution of DL-glutamic acid as its acetyl derivative through the use of porcine renal acylase I has been reported.2 DLGlutamic acid has been used as a starting material for the synthesis of imidazo[1,5-a]quinoxaline amides and carbamates that bind with high affinity to the GABAA/benzodiazepine receptor in cultured Sf 9 cells.7 Synonyms: DL-Glu-OH·H2O; (RS)-2-Aminopentanedioic acid monohydrate; DL-glutaminic acid, DL-α-aminoglutaric acid; DL-1-aminopropane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid CAS No: 19285-83-7 Free Base: 617-65-2 Molecular Formula: C5H9NO4•H2O Molecular Weight: 165.15 Appearance: White powder Purity: ≥99% Melting Point: 185°C (dec) Solubility (3N HCl): Colorless, clear, complete Loss on Drying: 10-12% Residue on Ignition: ≤0.05% Chloride: ≤0.02% Sulfate: ≤0.05% Iron: ≤0.001% Heavy Metals (Pb): ≤0.001% Arsenic: ≤0.0001% Ammonium: ≤0.02% Othe amino acids (TLC): Not Detected Storage: 4°C
