Spaglumic acid
Spaglumic acid is a neuropeptide found in millimolar concentrations in the brain.Spaglumic Acid is released upon depolarization by a Ca2+-dependent process and is an agonist at mGluR3 receptors and an antagonist at NMDA receptors. Spaglumic Acid is catabolized to N-acetylaspartate and glutamate primarily by glutamate carboxypeptidase II, which is expressed on the extracellular surface of astrocytes.
