Function
N-Acetylglutamine (NAcGln) is a modified amino acid (an acetylated analogue of glutamine) and is a metabolite present in normal human urine. The decomposition products of NAcGln have been identified by NMR and HPLC-MS as N-acetyl-L-glutamic acid, N-(2,6-dioxo-3-piperidinyl) acetamide, pyroglutamic acid, glutamic acid, and glutamine. NAcGln is used for parenteral nutrition as a source of glutamine since glutamine is too unstable whereas NAcGln is very stable. In patients treated with aminoglycosides and/or glycopeptides, an elevation of NAcGln in urine suggests renal tubular injury. High amounts of N-acetylated amino acids (i.e. N-acetylglutamine) were detected in a patient with aminoacylase I deficiency (EC 3.5.1.14, a homodimeric zinc-binding metalloenzyme located in the cytosol), a novel inborn error of metabolism.
