MDL Number: MFCD00162331
Product Type: Chemical
Electron Micrograph
Trigeminal afferent nerve identified with peroxidase labeled wheat germ lectin and the chromogens TMB and DAB (arrowhead) localized within the round vesicle containing terminal (R). The same (R) axon terminal is glutamate-ergic identified by Rabbit Anti-Glutamate (Cat. No. G6642) and a 10 nm gold secondary conjugate (circle).

| General description: | The amino acids L-glutamate (Glu) and L-aspartate (Asp) are considered the major excitatory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS) and represent the most abundant mammalian neurotransmitter class. Both L-glutamate and L-aspartate are present in the brain at high concentrations and are distributed in most excitatory pathways in the CNS. Glu- and Asp-immunoreactivities are localized in high concentrations in synaptic terminals. In nerve terminals, L-glutamate is formed by deamidation of its major precursor, L-glutamine, by the enzyme glutaminase. The actions of the excitatory amino acids on neurons are mediated by different receptor subtypes. These receptors are coupled to integral ion channels or to a second messenger system which utilizes inositol triphosphate (IP3). L-glutamate and L-aspartate may play an important role in the pathogenesis of certain neurological disorders such as Huntington′s disease, Alzheimer′s disease, epilepsy and brain ischemia. The excitoxic and neurotoxic effects of L-glutamate, leading to extensive neuronal damage, appear to be mediated by the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subtype. |
