L-glutamate is a substrate for the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) which catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamate to make gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). L-Glycine and GABA are inhibitory neurotransmitters and L-glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter. Understand the similarities and differences between receptors for excitatory and inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitters in terms of: mechanism of action (ligand-gated ion channels), subunit composition, and hydropathy profiles.
