Abstract

We have studied the effect of relatively high concentrations of extracellular N-acetylaspartate (NAA) on the intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca²⁺]_i in NTera2-neurons. While low concentrations of extracellular NAA (0.1, 1 mM) had no effect on the [Ca²⁺]_i, high concentrations of extracellular NAA (3, 10 mM) eliceted sharp and statistically significant elevations of [Ca²⁺]_i. Different classes of antagonists of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor abolished the NAA induced elevations of the [Ca²⁺]_i, indicating the involvement of the NMDA receptor in NAA-induced elevations of [Ca²⁺]_i.
