Disease relevance of N-Acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate

 

High impact information on N-Acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate

  • We describe here a new strategy for the treatment of stroke, through the inhibition of NAALADase (N-acetylated-alpha-linked-acidic dipeptidase), an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the neuropeptide NAAG (N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate) to N-acetyl-aspartate and glutamate [5].
  • GCP II is believed to mediate the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) to glutamate and N-acetyl-aspartate, and inhibition of NAAG peptidase activity (by GCP II and other peptidases) is neuroprotective [6].
  • Furthermore, we show that two mGluR3 agonists, the direct agonist (2R,4R)-4-aminopyrrolidine-2, 4-dicarboxylate (APDC) and N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) provide protection to neurons exposed to high glucose conditions, consistent with the concept that 2-PMPA neuroprotection is mediated by increased NAAG activity [7].
  • These findings provide a possible mechanism for NAAG inactivation subsequent to its release from nerve endings [8].
  • Separate quantification of the two tNAA components yielded no significant difference in NAA (N-acetyl-aspartate), while the concentration of NAAG (N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate) was slightly-but significantly-elevated in MS patients [9].
