The Uses of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid
NMDA(N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid)is a specific agonist for NMDA receptor mimicking the action of glutamate, the neurotransmitter which normally acts at that receptor.
The Uses of N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid
NMDA agonist
What are the applications of Application
N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid (NMDA) is a definitiveionotropic NMDA receptor agonist
Definition
ChEBI: An aspartic acid derivative having an N-methyl substituent and D-configuration.
General Description
N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) is an endogenously generated molecule in rat nervous system and endocrine glands. NMDA is present at low level (nmol/g) in the adenohypophysis, hypothalamus, brain, and testis. NMDA is derived from D-Asp by an S-adenosylmethionine-dependent enzyme also referred to as NMDA synthase.
Biological Activity
Prototypic NMDA receptor agonist. Also available as part of the Mixed NMDA Receptor Tocriset™ .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Excitotoxic amino acid. Prototypic agonist at the NMDA-type glutamate receptor that regulates ion channels; important in long-term potentiation, ischemia, and epilepsy.
