Glutamate is an amino acid that is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is found in many foods and dietary supplements. Glutamic acid may be converted to glutamine by the enzyme glutaminase, and then converted to glutamate again by the enzyme glutaminase. Glutamate is a metabolic intermediate in various biochemical reactions, including synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Glutamic acid is also used as a food additive and has antimicrobial properties.
