Application

L-Glutamic acid has been used as a supplement for selection medium, SORB-TOP-His.

Biochem/physiol Actions

An excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that is an agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA).
L-Glutamic acid along with l-Lysine is used for preparation of Bifunctional DTPA-like Ligands. L-glutamic acid can stimulate the spontaneous release of [3H] dopamine ( [3H] DA).

Locomotion is controlled by spinal networks that generate rhythm and coordinate left-right and flexor-extensor patterning. Defined populations of spinal interneurons have been linked to patterning circuits; however, neurons comprising the rhythm-generating kernel have remained elusive. Here, we identify an ipsilaterally

Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter and is involved in normal brain function. Cognitive impairment is common in multiple sclerosis (MS), and understanding its mechanisms is crucial for developing effective treatments. We used structural and metabolic brain imaging to test
