Glutamate

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Although L-glutamate at 1 mM caused 90% inhibition of melatonin synthesis, about 30% of the NAT activity remained, suggesting the presence of another target for L-glutamate.
Brain Research  •  1999  |  View Paper
l-Glutamate is a negative regulator of melatonin synthesis through a metabotropic receptor-mediated inhibitory cAMP cascade.
The Journal of Neuroscience  •  1998  |  View Paper
These results suggest that pinealocytes use L-aspartate, as well as L-glutamate , as a negative regulator for melatonin production.
