Abstract: Glutamate is best known for its function in nervous transmission, where it is secreted from nerve terminals and acts as an extracellular excitatory neurotransmitter. There is now evidence that glutamate also has an intracellular function. It has been found to be involved in preparing secretory granules for release from the insulin-secreting β-cells of the pancreas.
