Résumé
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.
