Following a rise in calcium concentration, astrocytes release this compound to help communication.
Structurally, its transporter is unique among secondary transporters due to the presence of eight membrane-spanning alpha-helices and two pore-loop structures. Following a rise in calcium concentration, astrocytes release this compound to help communication. This compound activates AMPA and NMDA receptors that depolarize cell membranes, one of the reasons it is suspected of causing epileptic seizures. FTP, name this primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, which is also a negatively charged amino acid with side chain CH2CH2COO minus, and which may best known for its monosodium variety.
