L-Glutamic acid-d5 is a deuterium-labeled form of L-Glutamic acid, which functions as an excitatory transmitter and an agonist for various glutamate receptors including metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA receptors. It also directly activates the release of dopamine from dopaminergic terminals.
- Deuterium labeled L-Glutamic acid
- Acts as an excitatory transmitter
- Agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA)
- Directly activates the release of DA from dopaminergic terminals
- Can be used as a tracer
- Can be used as an internal standard for quantitative analysis by NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS
