The antibody is calibrated against a spectrum of antigens to assure hapten selectivity. No measurable cross-reactivity (<1:1000) was detected against glutamate in peptides or proteins. Fixed tissue cross-reactivity was tested with known targets at the recommended dilution. No measurable glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue cross-reactivity (<1:1000) was detected against L-alanine, gamma-aminobutyrate, D/L-aspartate, agmatine, guanidine, D/L-arginine, L-citrulline, L-cysteine, D/L-glutamine, glutathione, glycine, L-lysine, L-ornithine, L-serine, taurine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine. Modest cross-reactivity (1:20) was detected against D-glutamate. Significant cross-reactivity (1:8) was detected against free NAAG in competition assays (NAAG is not retained in aldehyde-fixed tissue).
The product is optimized for HPI/EHPI with gold or fluorescence detection using etched plastic sections. Filter diluted reagents with 0.2 mm syringe filters before use on EM grids. Enzyme-linked visualizations can be used but will compress the signal dynamic range and are less sensitive.
L-glutamate also called glutamic acid is an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. This small amino acid has a molecular weight of 147.13 g/mol. Neurons and glial cells both express L-glutamate which allows it to function widely in the brain. Synaptic terminals release L-glutamate into the synaptic cleft where it binds to glutamate receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to propagate neural signals.
L-glutamate serves key roles in synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions including learning and memory. It acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the human brain and is essential for normal brain activities. L-glutamate does not belong to a protein complex but it operates closely with other neurotransmitters and their receptors ensuring proper signal transmission between neurons.
L-glutamate is involved in synaptic signaling and metabolic pathways like the glutamatergic synapse pathway. This amino acid interacts with proteins such as NMDA and AMPA receptors that are integral to these pathways. The proper functioning of these pathways is critical for maintaining excitatory neurotransmission and overall brain health.
Irregular L-glutamate signaling relates to conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy. In Alzheimer’s disease altered glutamate signaling contributes to neurodegeneration with NMDA receptor overactivation playing a role. In epilepsy excessive glutamate release leads to hyperexcitation contributing to seizures. Understanding these associations helps to identify potential therapeutic targets for treating these disorders.

ab9440 staining L Gluramate in Mouse retina tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr - frozen sections). Tissue was fixed with methanol, permeabilized with 0.025% TBS-Triton X-100 and blocked with 5% serum for 1 hour. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100 in PBS + 1% BSA) for 18 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.
