L-Glutamic acid-13C2

L-Glutamic acid-13C2 is the 13C labeled L-Glutamic acid[1]. L-Glutamic acid acts as an excitatory transmitter and an agonist at all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabotropic, kainate, NMDA, and AMPA). L-Glutamic acid shows a direct activating effect on the release of DA from dopaminergic terminals[2].
