Bioactivity | Aspartylglutamate (Asp-Glu) is a dipeptide that exhibits excitatory activity, as it has been shown to depolarize CA1 pyramidal neurons and increase conductance in response to stimulation. Aspartylglutamate selectively binds to certain glutamate receptors and demonstrates potent effects in specific regions of the hippocampus, particularly in the stratum radiatum where it enhances excitatory neurotransmission. |
