  3. L-Glutamic acid

L-Glutamic acid is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that acts as an agonist for all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabolic rhodophylline, NMDA, and AMPA). L-Glutamic acid has an agonist effect on the release of DA from dopaminergic nerve endings. L-Glutamic acid can be used in the study of neurological diseases. L-Glutamic acid acts at ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors.

In Vitro

L-Glutamic acid (120, 500, 750, 1000 mg/dL) can reduce the harmful effect of lithium on the embryonic development of Xenopus Xenopus[3].
L-Glutamic acid (2, 5, 10, 20 mM, 24-48 h) can induce neuroexcitotoxicity in neuroblastoma[4].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Viability Assay[4]

Cell Line: SH-SY5Y, IMR-32, SK-N-BE(2)
Concentration: 2, 5, 10, 20 mM
Incubation Time: 24 and 48 h
Result: Reduced cell viability in a dose-dependent manner.
In Vivo

L-Glutamic acid (3 g/kg, subcutaneous injection) can promote excitotoxic degeneration of retinal ganglion cells in mice[1].
L-Glutamic acid (750 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) can reduce and inhibit oxidative stress induced by chlorpyrifos (CPF) in rats[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Crv4 mice model[1]
Dosage: 3 g/kg
Administration: s.c., single dose
Result: Reduced the number of Brn-3a+ RGCs by >70%.
In the absence of mGlu1 receptor, MSG-induced retinal damage is diminished.
Animal Model: CPF-induced rat model[5]
Dosage: 750 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.
Result: Reduced CPF-induced oxidative stress by increasing the level of GSH and activity of GSH-related enzymes.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
