Definition of glutamate in English English dictionary

Any salt or ester of glutamic acid

A neurotransmitter that normally is involved with cognitive functions, however, in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, it appears to cause nerve cell death under certain circumstances

Glutamate is one of the most common amino acids found in nature It is the main component of many proteins, and is present in most tissues Glutamate is also produced in the body and plays an essential role in human metabolism It is a primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the human CNS, L-glutamate is present at a majority of synapses Over-stimulation of these same receptors is thought to trigger the neuronal damage associated with a wide variety of neurological insults and diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lathyrisms, and Alzheimer's disease

Glutamate is a derivative of glutamic acid, an amino acid occurring in proteins

see monosodium glutamate

-an amino acid found in proteins that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain

a salt or ester of glutamic acid

{i} salt or ester of glutamic acid (Chemistry)

A neurotransmitter that is normally involved in learning and memory Under ceratin circumstances it can be an excitotoxin, and appears to cause the death of nerve cells in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders Early research has shown that glutamate may cause nerve cell death in AD, and further research is being performed to learn more about its possible role in AD

monosodium glutamate

Monosodium glutamate is a substance which is sometimes added to savoury food to make it taste better. The abbreviation MSG is also used. MSG (glutamate from gluten). White crystalline substance, a sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid. MSG is used to intensify the natural flavour of meats and vegetables. It elicits a unique taste, called in Japan umami, different from the four basic tastes. Originally derived from seaweed and first used in Japan in 1908, it has become a common ingredient in Chinese and Japanese cooking. MSG in large amounts may have physical effects, including an allergic reaction commonly called "Chinese restaurant syndrome
