Description

Glutamic acid is a non-essential amino acid that is present in all cells. It is one of the most abundant amino acids and plays an important role in the biochemical properties and biological properties of living organisms. Glutamic acid has been found to be an important neurotransmitter and is involved in neuronal activity, which can lead to death. It also has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of DNA polymerase, which may explain the structural analysis of glutamic acid as a divalent cation coordination-activator molecule. Glutamate can be used as a model system for studying glutamate receptor function and its optimum concentration is determined using vitro assays. The dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase pathway may be involved in the toxicity of glutamic acid as it produces reactive oxygen species.
