Application

L-Glutamic acid γ-monohydroxamate has been used as a standard to calculate transglutaminase (TGase) activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Glutamic acid γ-monohydroxamate [L-Glu(gamma)HXM] is used as a vanadium ligand which potentiates vanadiums metabolic activity. L-Glu(gamma)HXM is also used as a substrate for E. coli asparagine synthetase B and as an ATP-dependent irreversible inhibitor of Escherichia coli gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase.

The method for the assay of glutamine synthetase (GlnS) relies on the gamma-glutamyl transferase reaction, i.e. the formation of glutamyl-gamma-hydroxamate from glutamine and hydroxylamine, and the chromatographic separation of the reaction product from the reactants. The method is not only
