Description
Glutamate is an-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is a non-essential nutrient for humans, meaning that the human body can synthesize enough for its use. It is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in your brain and central nervous system. It’s needed to keep your brain functioning properly. Glutamate plays a major role in shaping learning and memory. Glutamate needs to be present at the right concentrations in the right places at the right time.In neuroscience, glutamate is the dianion (divalent anion) of glutamic acid in its role as a neurotransmitter (a chemical that nerve cells use to send signals to other cells). It is by a wide margin the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system. It is used by every major excitatory function in the vertebrate brain, accounting in total for well over 90% of the synaptic connections in the human brain. It also serves as the primary neurotransmitter for some localized brain regions, such as cerebellum granule cells.Because of its role in synaptic plasticity, glutamate is involved in cognitive functions such as learning and memory in the brain. The form of plasticity known as long-term potentiation takes place at glutamatergic synapses in the hippocampus, neocortex, and other parts of the brain. Glutamate works not only as a point-to-point transmitter, but also through spill-over synaptic crosstalk between synapses in which summation of glutamate released from a neighboring synapse creates extrasynaptic signaling/volume transmission. In addition, glutamate plays important roles in the regulation of growth cones and synaptogenesis during brain development.
The GENLISA Human Glutamate (GLM) ELISA includes features like:
– Ready to use protocol with break-apart wells for ease of use
– Standardisation and High Reproducibility
– Lot to Lot Consistency
– Accuracy and Precision
Validated against seven points for a “GOLD RING” Standard Quality ELISA – the benchmark sign for Krishgen Quality. The The GENLISA ELISA kits are used for assessing the specific biomarker in samples analytes which may be human serum, plasma, biological fluids and cell culture supernatant. The kit uses indirect sandwich assay with double antibodies – capture and detection to ensure a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in the estimation of Glutamate (GLM);
