General description

L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous system (CNS). It interacts with membrane bound glutamate receptors.[1] Potassium -glutamate is also used as a component of MEM non-essential amino acids solution in cell culture.

Application

L-Glutamic acid potassium salt monohydrate has been used-
  • A component of MEM non-essential amino acids solution in cell culture.
  • For the purification of tubulins from bovine brain.
  • In stock solution for the preparation of quenching buffer during the formationof dual-color polarity-marked fluorescent microtubule seeds.[2]
  • The preparation of cell free extracts devoid of RF2 (release factor 2) from Escherichia coli strains.[3]
  • preparation of stock solutions during culture of Arabidopsis plants.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Agonist at kainate, NMDA, and quisqualate receptors; an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter.
L-glutamate plays key roles in development, learning, memory, plasticity and cognition. It plays crucial role in the pathogenesis of neuropathological diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, stroke, ischemia, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Huntington′s disease and Parkinson′s disease.[1] Glutamate is also responsible for the activation of long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Induction of glutamate receptors plays a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine.[5]

Features and Benefits

Our highly purified L-Glutamic acid potassium salt monohydrate will support your purification or preparation neuropathological diseases research needs

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
