 Use of Dimethyl Glutamate


Dimethyl L-glutamate (Dimethyl glutamate), a membrane-permeable analog of Glutamate, can stimulate insulin release induced by Glucose. Dimethyl L-glutamate suppresses the KATP channel activities. Dimethyl L-glutamate inhibits E. gracilis growth and causes abnormal cell division. Dimethyl L-glutamate can be used in the research of diabetes, glucose transport, phosphorylation, and further metabolism[1][2][3][4].
