Phenylacetyl-L-glutamine is a primary human metabolite formed from phenylacetate in presence of glutamine in the liver. It is also considered as a gut-microbiome derived uremic toxin. Phenylacetyl-L-glutamine urine levels serve as an effective biomarker for the excretion of nitrogenous waste. Also, peripheral artery disease patients exhibit higher circulating concentration of phenylacetyl-L-glutamine, and high plasma phenylacetyl-L-glutamine levels are associated with cardiovascular disease.
