benzyloxyaspartate [Supplementary Concept]
an inhibitor of glutamate uptake
Date introduced: September 22, 1999
Amino Acids, Acidic
Amino acids with side chains that are negatively charged at physiological pH.
Year introduced: 2002
Excitatory Amino Acids
Endogenous amino acids released by neurons as excitatory neurotransmitters. Glutamic acid is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Aspartic acid has been regarded as an excitatory transmitter for many years, but the extent of its role as a transmitter is unclear.
Year introduced: 1995
Aspartic Acid
One of the non-essential amino acids commonly occurring in the L-form. It is found in animals and plants, especially in sugar cane and sugar beets. It may be a neurotransmitter.
Year introduced: 1993
Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
Amino acids and chains of amino acids connected by peptide linkages.
Year introduced: 1998
Amino Acids, Dicarboxylic
Year introduced: 1974
Amino Acids
Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins.
