Immunogen
L-glutamic acid (Glu).
Specificity
The antibody reacts specifically with L-glutamate (L-glutamic acid), when immobilized with glutaraldehyde. Cross-reaction is observed with Gly-Glu and Asp-Glu. When using the product at the recommended working dilution, in indirect and competitive ELISA, weak cross-reaction may be obtained with D-glutamate, L-glutamine, L-aspartate, D-aspartate, L-asparagine, β-alanine, glycine, 5-aminovaleric acid, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Gly-Asp. Glutamate is found in cell bodies, axons, and terminals of glutamatergic neurons in the CNS.
