Sulfur containing amino acids such as homocysteic acid (HCA), cysteinsulfinic acid, homocysteinsulfinic acid are released by depolarization of slices from various rat brain regions in a Ca++-dependent manner. L-HCA excites caudate neurons through their N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor and potentiates their cortically evoked excitatory postsynaptic potentials. 35S-methionine can label the releasable pool of HCA, and thus appears as a precursor of HCA. Thus HCA is a transmitter candidate which acts predominantly on the NMDA receptor.
含硫氨基酸,如高半胱氨酸(HCA)、半胱亚磺酸、高半胱亚磺酸,以钙离子依赖的方式从大鼠不同脑区的切片去极化中释放出来。L-HCA通过其N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体兴奋尾状核神经元,并增强其皮层诱发的兴奋性突触后电位。35S-甲硫氨酸可以标记HCA的可释放池,因此似乎是HCA的前体。因此,HCA是一种主要作用于NMDA受体的候选神经递质。
