Glutamine ELISA Kit

Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid that plays a central role in nitrogen transport, energy production, and cellular metabolism. It is particularly important for rapidly dividing cells, including those of the immune system and intestinal epithelium. During periods of stress, infection, trauma, or critical illness, glutamine demand can exceed endogenous production, making its measurement a valuable indicator of metabolic status. Fluctuations in glutamine levels are associated with immune dysregulation, muscle wasting, and impaired gut barrier function, positioning it as a key biomarker in inflammation, cancer metabolism, and critical care research.

A glutamine ELISA allows for the quantitative analysis of glutamine concentrations in biological fluids such as plasma, serum, or cell culture media. In research settings, it is frequently used to study amino acid metabolism, cellular stress response, and nutrient utilization. Researchers utilize glutamine measurement to investigate cancer cell proliferation, immune cell activation, and the metabolic effects of dietary or therapeutic interventions.

Clinically, glutamine assessment can support the monitoring of nutritional status in critically ill patients, guide supplementation strategies, and help evaluate metabolic imbalances related to liver disease, sepsis, or post-surgical recovery. By providing a sensitive method to track glutamine availability, the ELISA can assist clinicians in optimizing patient care and monitoring therapeutic effectiveness in metabolic and immunological disorders.
