NCIt related terms : GLUTAMINE 5-C-13;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate composed of glutamine, a naturally occurring non-essential amino
acid, labeled at carbon position 5 (C5 position) with carbon C13, with potential metabolic
imaging and isotope tracing applications. Upon administration of 5-carbon C 13-labeled
glutamine, the glutamine is taken up and metabolized by tumors and the 13C-containing
metabolites can be imaged by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Since
tumor cells take up and metabolize glutamine in higher amounts and through different
pathways than normal cells, this agent may help assess the metabolic phenotype of
tumors and metabolic tumor pathways.;
