| Application: | |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Principal neurotransmitter for fast synaptic excitation. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Selective outflow of L-aspartic acid across the blood-brain barrier controls the level of L and D aspartic acid in the brain. Increased levels of L-aspartic acid in the brain results in excitatory neurotoxicity. Recent studies highlight that racemization of L-aspartic acid is followed by the determination of D:L ratio to estimate the age of an individual. |
