thumb|Glutamine ball and stick model spinning Glutamine (symbol Gln or Q) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Its side chain is similar to that of glutamic acid, except the carboxylic acid group is replaced by an amide. It is classified as a charge-neutral, polar amino acid. It is non-essential and conditionally essential in humans, meaning the body can usually synthesize sufficient amounts of it, but in some instances of stress, the body's demand for glutamine increases, and glutamine must be obtained from the diet. It is encoded by the codons CAA and CAG. It is n
L-glutamine is an amino acid that your body uses to build proteins, and it's normally produced in sufficient quantities by your body itself, though stress or illness may increase your need for it from dietary sources. It's classified as a polar, charge-neutral amino acid, meaning it has specific chemical properties that make it useful for various biological functions.

It is encoded by the codons CAA and CAG. It is named after glutamic acid, which in turn is named after its discovery in cereal proteins, gluten.
In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid.
