glutamate

Side chain is -CH2-CH2-COO- Amino acid & excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Different effects are mediated via metabotropic & ionotropic glutamate receptors. Laboratory: - glutamate in specimen - glutamate in hair - glutamate in body fluid - glutamate in amniotic fluid - glutamate in CSF - glutamate in dried blood spot - glutamate in serum/plasma - glutamate in urine - glutamate in vitreous fluid
