- 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.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glutamine article was read about 78,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
