Metabolite Identification
Common NameGlutamic acid
DescriptionL-Glutamic acid, also known as glutamate or acido glutamico, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamic acid and derivatives. Glutamic acid and derivatives are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Glutamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In cattle, L-glutamic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the folate metabolism pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Glutamic acid.
