General description
Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid.
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Selective outflow of L-aspartic acid across the blood-brain barrier controls the level of L and D aspartic acid in the brain. Increased levels of L-aspartic acid in the brain results in excitatory neurotoxicity. Recent studies highlight that racemization of L-aspartic acid is followed by the determination of D:L ratio to estimate the age of an individual.
Principal neurotransmitter for fast synaptic excitation.
