GLUTAMIC ACID, L-, [5-14C]

L-Glutamic acid-14C is L-Glutamic acid (HY-14608) labeled with the radioactive isotope carbon-14. L-Glutamic acid is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter and an agonist for all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, NMDA, and AMPA). L-Glutamic acid acts as an agonist in the release of DA from dopaminergic nerve terminals and can be used in the study of neurological diseases[1].
