ChEBI: A homocysteic acid with L-configuration. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-Homocysteic acid (L-HCA) is an endogenous neurotransmitter ligand of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors. It is an analog of glutamate and competitively suppresses glutamate-cystine (xc-) antiporter function in neurons, causing decrease in cysteine uptake. |
