  • Title: Effect of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase inhibitors on the transport of glutamate into neuronal and glial primary cultures.
    Author: Jankásková B, Lisý V, Stastný F.
    Journal: Int J Dev Neurosci; 1992 Jun; 10(3):225-30. PubMed ID: 1359735.
    Abstract:
    Inhibitors of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (mixture of serine and borate--13 mM, kainic acid--5 mM and 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine--2 mM) significantly suppressed glutamate uptake into cultured neurones and glial cells. The simultaneous application of any of these inhibitors with ouabain resulted in a further decline in glutamate uptake. It can be speculated that gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase significantly contributes to glutamate transport into nerve cells in the early period of brain development until the Na(+)-K(+)-gradient is fully constituted.
