Glutamate ELISA kits are assays designed to detect the amino acid glutamate. Alternatively, ELISA kits are also listed that target many subtypes of glutamate receptors and related enzymes, such as glutamate decarboxylase. Glutamate is the most abundant neurotransmitter in vertebrates and is involved in many cognitive functions. It plays an important role in the generation of synapses in neurons during brain development. It is a precursor to the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA).
