Application

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid has been used:
  • as a glutamate transport inhibitor to test its impairing effect on glutamate-induced cell death in HT22 neuronal cells
  • as an analog of glutamate to test its effect on glutamate/glutamine-dependent acid resistance of E. coli and S. flexneri
  • as sodium glutamate (Na+/Glu) cotransporter inhibitor in myogenic cell line C2C12

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid is a selective glutamate transporter inhibitor.

Oxidative glutamate toxicity in the neuronal cell line HT22 is a model for cell death by oxidative stress. In this paradigm, an excess of extracellular glutamate blocks the glutamate/cystine-antiporter system Xc-, depleting the cell of cysteine, a building block of

Glutamate is a primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian CNS. Glutamate released from presynaptic neurons is cleared from the synaptic cleft passively by diffusion and actively by glutamate transporters. In this study, the role of glutamate transporters in sensory processing

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced demyelination causes progressive white matter injury, although the pathogenic pathways are unknown. The Single Cell Portal and PanglaoDB databases were used to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing experiments to determine the pattern of EAAT3 expression in CNS cells.
