グルタミン酸(グルタミンさん、glutamic acid, glutamate)は、アミノ酸のひとつで、2-アミノペンタン二酸のこと。2-アミノグルタル酸とも呼ばれる。Glu あるいは E の略号で表される。小麦グルテンの加水分解物から初めて発見されたことからこの名がついた。英語に準じ、グルタメートと呼ぶこともある。
酸性極性側鎖アミノ酸に分類される。タンパク質構成アミノ酸のひとつで、非必須アミノ酸。動物の体内では神経伝達物質としても機能しており、グルタミン酸受容体を介して神経伝達が行われる、興奮性の神経伝達物質である。
グルタミン酸がたくさんつながると、納豆の粘性物質であるポリグルタミン酸になる。
致死量はLD50=20g/kgである。

生合成
クエン酸回路の一員である2-オキソグルタル酸が、グルタミン酸トランスフェラーゼの作用により他のアミノ酸からアミノ基転移を受けることで合成される。
あるいは、グルタミン酸デヒドロゲナーゼ (EC 1.4.1.3) による、グルタミン酸の2-オキソグルタル酸とアンモニアへの分解反応の逆反応により合成される。
- L-glutamate + H2O + NAD(P)+ → 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + NAD(P)H + H+
存在
コンブ、チーズ、緑茶などに大量に含まれるほか、シイタケ、トマト、魚介類などにも比較的多く含まれていることが知られている。
利用
主に、食品添加物であるL-グルタミン酸ナトリウム(グルタミン酸ソーダ、mono sodium glutamate、MSGあるいはグル曹とも呼ばれる)の中間原料として製造、利用される。グルタミン酸そのものは酸味を持つため、そのナトリウム塩であるグルタミン酸ナトリウムが調味料(うま味調味料)として利用されている。L-グルタミン酸ナトリウムを主成分とする調味料として、日本では味の素などがよく知られている。
製法
グルタミン酸の製造は、現在では微生物のアミノ酸発酵により、主に糖蜜またはコメ、コーンスターチなどと塩化アンモニウムを原料として、生産されている。詳細はアミノ酸発酵を参照のこと。その他の方法として、下記がある。
加水分解法
グルテン、大豆蛋白などの植物性タンパク質に、塩酸を加えて高温のもとで加水分解すると、グルタミン酸の塩酸塩が得られる。かつては小麦粉グルテンを使っての製造が行われていたが、現在は用いられない。
抽出法
テンサイから甜菜糖を作る過程で出る廃糖蜜には、約3%程度の遊離グルタミン酸が含まれるので、ステファン法によって抽出すれば利用可能であり、1930年代には工業化されたが、コストが高いことと、廃棄物が多く出ることから、現在は用いられない。
化学合成法
アクリロニトリルを原料に、カルボキシル化、シアノアミン化、加水分解を行うと、DL-グルタミン酸が得られる。これからL-グルタミン酸を分離すればよいが、約同量のD-グルタミン酸ができるので、効率が悪く、現在は用いられない。
酵素促進合成法
生合成にも使われているグルタミン酸デヒドロゲナーゼや、アミノトランスフェラーゼ、グルタミン酸合成酵素などの酵素と補酵素の作用によって、それぞれ異なる原料から製造する方法もある。
神経伝達物質と興奮毒
グルタミン酸は、神経系では、興奮性神経伝達物質の一つであり、記憶・学習などの脳高次機能に重要な役割を果たしている。他方、グルタミン酸は、神経系では、内因性興奮毒としての性質を持ち、細胞死、パーキンソン病、抑うつなどの神経症に関わっている[1]。大脳皮質でグルタミン酸は脳虚血などの病的状態においては神経毒として作用し、神経細胞の壊死を起こすことが知られている[2]。ニューロン周囲のグルタミン酸濃度が危険な濃度にまで達すると、ニューロンはアポトーシスと呼ばれるプロセスによって自己を殺す。このプロセス全体は、グルタミン酸塩が通常は低い濃度においては興奮性の神経伝達物質として作用することから興奮毒性と呼ばれている[3]。さらにこの作用はNMDA型グルタミン酸受容体が活性化されてグルタミン酸とともにCaイオンの過剰流入を引き起こすことによって生じると推定されている[2]。NMDA(N-メチル-D-アスパラギン酸)型グルタミン酸受容体は通常不活性な性質を持つ。これは、細胞外からのマグネシウムイオンがこの受容体の活動を阻害(マグネシウム・ブロック)しているためである[4]。マグネシウム欠乏下ではNMDA型グルタミン酸受容体の抑えが効かなくなり、グルタミン酸の神経毒性によりうつ病が引き起こされているのではないかという仮説がある[5]。最近、トリプトファン代謝産物であるキヌレン酸が脊髄においてNMDA型グルタミン酸受容体に作用しグルタミン酸に拮抗することが報告されており、脳内でグルタミン酸の興奮毒性の抑制に重要な機能的役割を担っていることが想定される[2]。なお、グルタミン酸は、血液脳関門を透過しないので、循環系から脳に供給されることはない[1]。

Glutamic acid (abbreviated as Glu or E) is one of the 20-22 proteinogenic amino acids, and its codons are GAA and GAG. It is a non-essential amino acid. The carboxylate anions and salts of glutamic acid are known as glutamates. In neuroscience, glutamate is an important neurotransmitter that plays a key role in long-term potentiation and is important for learning and memory.[4]

Chemistry
The side chain carboxylic acid functional group has a pKa of 4.1 and therefore exists almost entirely in its negatively charged deprotonated carboxylate form at pH values greater than 4.1; therefore, it is negatively charged at physiological pH ranging from 7.35 to 7.45.
History
Main article: Glutamic acid (flavor)
Although they occur naturally in many foods, the flavor contributions made by glutamic acid and other amino acids were only scientifically identified early in the twentieth century. The substance was discovered and identified in the year 1866, by the German chemist Karl Heinrich Ritthausen who treated wheat gluten (for which it was named) with sulfuric acid.[5] In 1908 Japanese researcher Kikunae Ikeda of the Tokyo Imperial University identified brown crystals left behind after the evaporation of a large amount of kombu broth as glutamic acid. These crystals, when tasted, reproduced the ineffable but undeniable flavor he detected in many foods, most especially in seaweed. Professor Ikeda termed this flavor umami. He then patented a method of mass-producing a crystalline salt of glutamic acid, monosodium glutamate.[6][7]

Function and uses
Metabolism
Glutamate is a key compound in cellular metabolism. In humans, dietary proteins are broken down by digestion into amino acids, which serve as metabolic fuel for other functional roles in the body. A key process in amino acid degradation is transamination, in which the amino group of an amino acid is transferred to an α-ketoacid, typically catalysed by a transaminase. The reaction can be generalised as such:
- R1-amino acid + R2-α-ketoacid ⇌ R1-α-ketoacid + R2-amino acid
A very common α-keto acid is α-ketoglutarate, an intermediate in the citric acid cycle. Transamination of α-ketoglutarate gives glutamate. The resulting α-ketoacid product is often a useful one as well, which can contribute as fuel or as a substrate for further metabolism processes. Examples are as follows:
- Alanine + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ pyruvate + glutamate
- Aspartate + α-ketoglutarate ⇌ oxaloacetate + glutamate
Both pyruvate and oxaloacetate are key components of cellular metabolism, contributing as substrates or intermediates in fundamental processes such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the citric acid cycle.
Glutamate also plays an important role in the body's disposal of excess or waste nitrogen. Glutamate undergoes deamination, an oxidative reaction catalysed by glutamate dehydrogenase,[8] as follows:
- glutamate + H2O + NADP+ → α-ketoglutarate + NADPH + NH3 + H+
Ammonia (as ammonium) is then excreted predominantly as urea, synthesised in the liver. Transamination can, thus, be linked to deamination, effectively allowing nitrogen from the amine groups of amino acids to be removed, via glutamate as an intermediate, and finally excreted from the body in the form of urea.
Neurotransmitter
Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate nervous system.[9] At chemical synapses, glutamate is stored in vesicles. Nerve impulses trigger release of glutamate from the pre-synaptic cell. In the opposing post-synaptic cell, glutamate receptors, such as the NMDA receptor or the AMPA receptor, bind glutamate and are activated. Because of its role in synaptic plasticity, glutamate is involved in cognitive functions like learning and memory in the brain.[10] The form of plasticity known as long-term potentiation takes place at glutamatergic synapses in the hippocampus, neocortex, and other parts of the brain. Glutamate works not only as a point-to-point transmitter but also through spill-over synaptic crosstalk between synapses in which summation of glutamate released from a neighboring synapse creates extrasynaptic signaling/volume transmission.[11] In addition, glutamate plays important roles in the regulation of growth cones and synaptogenesis during brain development as originally described by Mark Mattson.
Glutamate transporters[12] are found in neuronal and glial membranes. They rapidly remove glutamate from the extracellular space. In brain injury or disease, they can work in reverse, and excess glutamate can accumulate outside cells. This process causes calcium ions to enter cells via NMDA receptor channels, leading to neuronal damage and eventual cell death, and is called excitotoxicity. The mechanisms of cell death include
- Damage to mitochondria from excessively high intracellular Ca2+[13]
- Glu/Ca2+-mediated promotion of transcription factors for pro-apoptotic genes, or downregulation of transcription factors for anti-apoptotic genes
Excitotoxicity due to excessive glutamate release and impaired uptake occurs as part of the ischemic cascade and is associated with stroke,[4] autism, some forms of intellectual disability, and diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, lathyrism, and Alzheimer's disease.[4][14] In contrast, decreased glutamate release is observed under conditions of classical phenylketonuria[15] leading to developmental disruption of glutamate receptor expression.[16]
Glutamic acid has been implicated in epileptic seizures. Microinjection of glutamic acid into neurons produces spontaneous depolarisations around one second apart, and this firing pattern is similar to what is known as paroxysmal depolarizing shift in epileptic attacks. This change in the resting membrane potential at seizure foci could cause spontaneous opening of voltage-activated calcium channels, leading to glutamic acid release and further depolarization[citation needed].
Experimental techniques to detect glutamate in intact cells include using a genetically engineered nanosensor.[17] The sensor is a fusion of a glutamate-binding protein and two fluorescent proteins. When glutamate binds, the fluorescence of the sensor under ultraviolet light changes by resonance between the two fluorophores. Introduction of the nanosensor into cells enables optical detection of the glutamate concentration. Synthetic analogs of glutamic acid that can be activated by ultraviolet light and two-photon excitation microscopy have also been described.[18] This method of rapidly uncaging by photostimulation is useful for mapping the connections between neurons, and understanding synapse function.
Evolution of glutamate receptors is entirely the opposite in invertebrates, in particular, arthropods and nematodes, where glutamate stimulates glutamate-gated chloride channels.[citation needed] The beta subunits of the receptor respond with very high affinity to glutamate and glycine.[19] Targeting these receptors has been the therapeutic goal of anthelmintic therapy using avermectins. Avermectins target the alpha-subunit of glutamate-gated chloride channels with high affinity.[20] These receptors have also been described in arthropods, such as Drosophila melanogaster[21] and Lepeophtheirus salmonis.[22] Irreversible activation of these receptors with avermectins results in hyperpolarization at synapses and neuromuscular junctions resulting in flaccid paralysis and death of nematodes and arthropods.
L-Glutamate at physiological conditions
Brain nonsynaptic glutamatergic signaling circuits
Extracellular glutamate in Drosophila brains has been found to regulate postsynaptic glutamate receptor clustering, via a process involving receptor desensitization.[23] A gene expressed in glial cells actively transports glutamate into the extracellular space,[23] while, in the nucleus accumbens-stimulating group II metabotropic glutamate receptors, this gene was found to reduce extracellular glutamate levels.[24] This raises the possibility that this extracellular glutamate plays an "endocrine-like" role as part of a larger homeostatic system.
GABA precursor
Glutamate also serves as the precursor for the synthesis of the inhibitory gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in GABA-ergic neurons. This reaction is catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), which is most abundant in the cerebellum and pancreas.
Stiff-man syndrome is a neurologic disorder caused by anti-GAD antibodies, leading to a decrease in GABA synthesis and, therefore, impaired motor function such as muscle stiffness and spasm. Since the pancreas has abundant GAD, a direct immunological destruction occurs in the pancreas and the patients will have diabetes mellitus.
Flavor enhancer
Main article: Glutamic acid (flavor)
Glutamic acid, being a constituent of protein, is present in every food that contains protein, but it can only be tasted when it is present in an unbound form. Significant amounts of free glutamic acid are present in a wide variety of foods, including cheese and soy sauce, and is responsible for umami, one of the five basic tastes of the human sense of taste. Glutamic acid is often used as a food additive and flavor enhancer in the form of its salt, known as monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Nutrient
All meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, and kombu are excellent sources of glutamic acid. Some protein-rich plant foods also serve as sources. 30% to 35% of the protein in wheat is glutamic acid. Ninety-five percent of the dietary glutamate is metabolized by intestinal cells in a first pass.[25]
Plant growth
Auxigro is a plant growth preparation that contains 30% glutamic acid.
NMR spectroscopy
In recent years, there has been much research into the use of residual dipolar coupling (RDC) in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). A glutamic acid derivative, poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG), is often used as an alignment medium to control the scale of the dipolar interactions observed.[26]
Production
China-based Fufeng Group Limited is the largest producer of glutamic acid in the world, with capacity increasing to 300,000 tons at the end of 2006 from 180,000 tons during 2006, putting them at 25%–30% of the Chinese market. Meihua is the second-largest Chinese producer. Together, the top-five producers have roughly 50% share in China. Chinese demand is roughly 1.1 million tons per year, while global demand, including China, is 1.7 million tons per year.
Pharmacology
The drug phencyclidine (more commonly known as PCP) antagonizes glutamic acid non-competitively at the NMDA receptor. For the same reasons, dextromethorphan and ketamine also have strong dissociative and hallucinogenic effects. Acute infusion of the drug LY354740 (also known as eglumegad, an agonist of the metabotropic glutamate receptors 2 and 3) resulted in a marked diminution of yohimbine-induced stress response in bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata); chronic oral administration of LY354740 in those animals led to markedly reduced baseline cortisol levels (approximately 50 percent) in comparison to untreated control subjects.[27] LY354740 has also been demonstrated to act on the metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (GRM3) of human adrenocortical cells, downregulating aldosterone synthase, CYP11B1, and the production of adrenal steroids (i.e. aldosterone and cortisol).[28] Glutamate does not easily pass the blood brain barrier, but, instead, is transported by a high-affinity transport system.[29] It can also be converted into glutamine.
