 Aspartic Acid can be formed within the body from Glutamic Acid.  [2]

 Glutamine (which cannot pass through the Blood-Brain Barrier) converts within the body to Glutamic Acid (which can pass through the Blood-Brain Barrier) which then combines with Ammonia to reform back into Glutamine.  [3]

 Proline can be formed within the body from Glutamic Acid.  [4]
