Application

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid has been used:
  • as a glutamate transport inhibitor to test its impairing effect on glutamate-induced cell death in HT22 neuronal cells
  • as an analog of glutamate to test its effect on glutamate/glutamine-dependent acid resistance of E. coli and S. flexneri
  • as sodium glutamate (Na+/Glu) cotransporter inhibitor in myogenic cell line C2C12

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-trans-Pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid is a selective glutamate transporter inhibitor.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced demyelination causes progressive white matter injury, although the pathogenic pathways are unknown. The Single Cell Portal and PanglaoDB databases were used to analyze single-cell RNA sequencing experiments to determine the pattern of EAAT3 expression in CNS cells.

To determine whether pyroglutamic acid (PGA) enhances the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) after optic nerve (ON) transection in vivo and RGCs in culture. The RGCs of rats were retrogradely labeled by Fluorogold (FG)-soaked sponges placed on both superior

Recent evidence in clinical and preclinical studies has implicated glutamate neurotransmissions in pathophysiology of mood disorders. The regulation of amino acid neurotransmission, i.e., glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) involves coordinated mechanisms of uptake and transport within a tripartite synaptic system

Uptake of 1 microM [3H]L-glutamate by cultured 3T3 fibroblasts was strongly dependent on extracellular Na+; it was reduced by elevated concentrations of K+ (60 mM) but it was not influenced by variations in the concentration of Ca2+ (0-9.6 mM). D-

Previous studies have established that microinjection of gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) into the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) region or third ventricle causes circadian phase shifts similar to those produced by light pulses. Activation of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the SCN region also
