L-Glutamic acid

Description:
L-Glutamic acid, with the CAS number 56-86-0, is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and neurotransmission. It is characterized by its carboxylic acid functional groups, which contribute to its acidic properties, and an amino group that allows it to participate in peptide bond formation. L-Glutamic acid is a key component of proteins and is involved in the synthesis of other amino acids. It is known for its role as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, influencing synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions. In its crystalline form, L-Glutamic acid is typically white and soluble in water, with a slightly bitter taste. It is commonly found in various food sources, particularly in protein-rich foods, and is often used as a flavor enhancer in the form of monosodium glutamate (MSG). Additionally, L-Glutamic acid is involved in metabolic pathways, including the urea cycle and the synthesis of neurotransmitters, making it vital for overall physiological functions.
