Product Description
L-Glutamic acid ammonium is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that acts as an agonist for all subtypes of glutamate receptors (metabolic theophylline receptors, NMDA receptors, and AMPA receptors). L-Glutamic acid ammonium has an agonistic effect on dopamine release from dopaminergic nerve endings. L-Glutamic acid can be used in research on nervous system diseases. L-Glutamic acid ammonium acts on both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
L-Glutamate (120-1000 mg/dL) can reduce the harmful effects of lithium on Xenopus embryonic development[3]. L-Glutamate (2-20 mM, 24-48 h) can induce neuroexcitotoxicity in neuroblastoma[4].
ln Vivo
L-Glutamate (3 g/kg, subcutaneous injection, single dose) promotes excitotoxic degeneration of retinal ganglion cells in mice[1]. L-Glutamate (750 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, single dose) reduces and inhibits oxidative stress induced by chlorpyrifos (CPF) in rats[5].

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 6.0916 mL 30.4581 mL 60.9162 mL
5 mM 1.2183 mL 6.0916 mL 12.1832 mL
10 mM 0.6092 mL 3.0458 mL 6.0916 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
