Glutamic Acid Assay Kit (Microanalysis)

Glutamic acid (Glu) is widely present in animals, plants, microorganisms, and cultured cells. It is not only one of the 20 amino acids that constitute proteins, but also participates in the synthesis of various amino acids through transamination reactions, serving as one of the major amino group donors in living organisms. In addition, Glu is the principal active component of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and is commonly used as a food additive as well as in flavor and fragrance production.
