Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Glutamic acid is a natural α proteinogenic amino acid use in a wide range of research application including use as a cell culture supplement, enzyme substrate or receptor ligand. L-Glutamine is an agonist at kainate, NMDA, and quisqualate glutamatergic receptors and an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter.
Agonist at kainate, NMDA, and quisqualate glutamatergic receptors; an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter.

To review the physiology of the glutamate receptor subunits such as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). Glutamic acid (Glu) is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system which interacts with two types classified into two types: metabotropic and ionotropic. Ionotropic receptors

Several reports have described apparently normal survival and development of hippocampal and spinal cord culture preparations grown in Ham's F-12 medium, which contains 100 microM each of L-glutamate and L-aspartate. As at this concentration these amino acids are neurotoxic, some

The cultivation of pure neuronal cultures is considered advantageous for the investigation of cell-type specific responses (such as transmitter release and also pharmacological agents), however, divergent results are a likely consequence of media modifications and culture composition. Using Fura-2 based

This study investigated changes in the transcript levels of genes related to glutamate neurotransmission and transport as diabetes progresses in the Long-Evans rat retina. Transcript levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), erythropoietin, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3

Although it is well established that many glutamatergic neurons sequester Zn(2+) within their synaptic vesicles, the physiological significance of synaptic Zn(2+) remains poorly understood. In experiments performed in a Zn(2+)-enriched auditory brainstem nucleus--the dorsal cochlear nucleus--we discovered that synaptic Zn(2+)
