D-Glutamic acid (CAS 6893-26-1) is the D-enantiomer of glutamic acid, a non-proteinogenic amino acid. Produced via enzymatic resolution or fermentation, its molecular formula is C5H9NO4. Unlike the L-isomer, it does not participate in standard protein synthesis but serves as a specialized chiral building block.
Storage requires cool, dry conditions away from moisture to prevent degradation. While generally low toxicity, avoid inhalation of dust. It is not approved for direct human consumption or therapeutic injection without rigorous purification and regulatory approval.
