L-Glutamic acid
Chemical Name: (S)-1-Aminopropane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid
Biological Activity
L-Glutamic acid is a the predominant excitatory transmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. L-Glutamic acid acts at ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors.MNI-caged-L-glutamate (Cat. No. 1490) also available.
