cellular response to L-glutamine

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a L-glutamine stimulus. [GO_REF:0000071, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:23185570]

L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism. It is involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including protein synthesis, energy production, and the biosynthesis of nucleotides. The cellular response to L-glutamine begins with its uptake into the cell via the glutamine transporter. Once inside the cell, L-glutamine can be used for a variety of metabolic pathways. One of the most important pathways is the synthesis of glutamate, which is a precursor for the neurotransmitter GABA. Glutamine can also be used to synthesize other amino acids, such as proline and arginine. In addition, L-glutamine can be used as an energy source by the cell. It is broken down into alpha-ketoglutarate, which enters the Krebs cycle. The Krebs cycle is a central metabolic pathway that produces energy for the cell. L-glutamine also plays a role in the biosynthesis of nucleotides. It is used to synthesize the amino acids adenine and guanine, which are components of DNA and RNA. In addition, L-glutamine is involved in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation. It is important for the synthesis of proteins and DNA, both of which are essential for cell growth. The cellular response to L-glutamine is complex and involves a variety of metabolic pathways. It is essential for a wide range of cellular functions, including protein synthesis, energy production, and the biosynthesis of nucleotides. L-glutamine also plays a role in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation.'
