General description

Phenylacetyl-L-glutamine is a primary human metabolite formed from phenylacetate in presence of glutamine in the liver. It is also considered as a gut-microbiome derived uremic toxin. Phenylacetyl-L-glutamine urine levels serve as an effective biomarker for the excretion of nitrogenous waste. Also, peripheral artery disease patients exhibit higher circulating concentration of phenylacetyl-L-glutamine, and high plasma phenylacetyl-L-glutamine levels are associated with cardiovascular disease.

Application

Phenylacetyl-ʟ-glutamine is a versatile compound that finds application in microbiome and metabolomics research.

Features and Benefits

  • Ideal for biochemical, microbiome and metabolomics studies
  • High quality product for research applications

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is characterized by the atherosclerotic narrowing of lower limb vessels, leading to ischemic muscle pain in older persons. Some patients experience progression to advanced chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with poor long-term survivorship. Herein, we performed serum
