- Main article: Glutamic acid
Glutamate is a salt of glutamic acid so the carboxylate anions and salts are known as glutamates.
In neuroscience, glutamate is an important neurotransmitter in both the diencephalon and telencephalon and in nerve impulse transmission in the peripheral nervous system
It plays a key role in long-term potentiation and is important for learning and memory.[1]
Etymology
This is from gluttacid + ate (indicating a salt or ester of an acid)
