  Glutamate is a central junction for interchange of amino nitrogen, glutamate facilitates both amino acid synthesis and degradation.
  In the liver, glutamate is the terminus for release of ammonia from amino acids, and the intrahepatic concentration of glutamate modulates the rate of ammonia detoxification into urea.
  In pancreatic beta-cells, oxidation of glutamate mediates amino acid-stimulated insulin secretion.
  In the central nervous system, glutamate serves as an excitatory (...)

  Definition: A gene is a locus (or region) of DNA that encodes a functional RNA or protein product, and is the molecular unit of heredity.
  The transmission of genes to an organism’s offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as the gene–environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye colour or number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood (...)
