Abstract:
Glutamine,a coding amino acid in the process of synthesis of protein,could be absorbed by endothelial cells of the small intestine in most cases,or converted from other amino acid and glucose in the assistance of concerned enzyme.This nonessential amino acid maintains homeostasis in rivo.In recent years,a large number of researches reveal that glutamine plays an extremely important role in the tumor metabolism and therefore influences the process and treatment of cancer.In the study,the netabolism of glutamine in normal cells and tumor cells and its effects on tumor therapy were reviewed.
