RhGln is a small-molecule fluorescent probe for directly visualizing glutamine in live cells from brain tissues. It is a brightly fluorescent, stable, water soluble, and non-hydrolysable glutamine analog. RhGln has been demonstrate to provide direct visual evidence of an activity-dependent glutamine supply from astroglial networks to presynaptic structures under physiological conditions. RhGln has an absorption and emission maxima at 580 and 601 nm and a fluorescence emission quantum yield of 0.6.
