Description:Glutamate is an amino acid that is found in the human body and plays a vital role in many metabolic pathways. Glutamate is classified as a neurotransmitter, which means that it transmits nerve impulses between neurons. The synthesis of glutamate takes place in the brain and it is also produced by the pancreas, kidney, and small intestine. It has been shown to be involved in neuronal death and cell culture experiments have shown that glutamate can induce neuronal death through its ability to activate extracellular Ca2+. Glutamate receptors are composed of three subtypes: AMPA, kainate, and NMDA receptors. Each receptor type has different subunits with specific functions as well as binding affinities for different ligands. Glutamate binds to these receptors in order to activate them and regulate their activity.
