Glutamic acid can be used by the brain as fuel and glutamate is one of the most common excitatory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and converts it into the buffer glutamine.

Fluid produced by the prostate gland also contains amounts of glutamic acid and may play a role in the health of the prostate gland.
