|Section2= |Section3= }} Glutaurine is a chemical compound which is an amide formed from glutamic acid and taurine. ==Biological role== Glutaurine, an endogenous compound (KEGG: C05844), has been noted as an antiepileptic, with antiamnesia properties. The dipeptide γ-glutamyltaurine (γ-GT; glutaurine, Litoralon) was discovered in the parathyroid in 1980, and later in the mammalian brain. This led to studies on intrinsic and synthetic taurine peptides, and the suggestion that γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT; γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase) in the brain is responsible for its ''in vivo'' formation.〔Bittner S et al (2005) (γ-L-glutamyltaurine ). ''Amino Acids'', 28(4): 343-356〕 The versatile molecule mimicks the anxiolytic drug diazepam, and is implicated in phenomena from feline aggression to amphibian metamorphosis, radiation protection and the glutamatergic system in schizophrenic disorders.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glutaurine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
