Talk:Glutamate (neurotransmitter)

HI ,my name is layladirie im student from uskudar university ,i edit this aeticle(glutamte neurotransmitter)as assigment for my course (Recent Developments in biotechnology MLC501/1.i already completed wikipedia training modules to proficient in wikipedia editing .i would appreciate any suport — Preceding unsigned comment added by Layladirie (talk • contribs) 17:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Source of material
I have created this article today by copying and pasting the text from the "Neurotransmitter" section of glutamic acid -- see the history of that article for attribution. This deserves to be a separate article because glutamate is actually the most widely used of all neurotransmitters, and there is a tremendous amount to say about it. I plan to expand this article over the coming days. Looie496 (talk) 14:18, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Newborn page needs some love
i totally totally agree that glutamate as a neurotransmitter deserves a page separate from glutamic acid, and i think there are a couple things that need to be done regarding redirects to make it clearer which is which. this page as it is is great but it would be wonderful to get some expansion on the role of glutamate receptors in the brain and also to fill out the "Function" section! I will try to make it look a little bit less empty but I am not an expert and this page needs one — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masonpew (talk • contribs) 01:22, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Chemical Information
Needs more chemical Information such as chemical formula. Catcallofcthulhu (talk) 06:04, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Updated chembox to match structure & CAS for L-glutamate
I changed the IUPAC name and Pubchem ref to match the structure pictured and CAS number, which are L-glutamate, the conjugate base of L-glutamic acid, and is indeed what the term "glutamate" generally refers to more properly since D-glutamic acid and D-glutamate are not found in nature. Glutamic acid has its own article also listing 2-Aminopropanedioic acid for the IUPAC name, though that technically refers to DL-glutamic acid, makes sense, but maybe both articles could use clarification for the chemists. DL-glutamate would be 2-Azaniumylpentanedioate. Not sure if this should be added to the box as well but, the D-isomers are mainly of interest to chemists so I think it makes more sense for it to list the info for L-glutamate just wanted to make sure it actually matches SalvatrixMundi (talk) 14:57, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
