The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate, the anion of 2-aminopentanedioic acid. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate, via the intermediate 2-oxoglutarate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including butyrate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of amino acids of the glutamine family, comprising arginine, glutamate, glutamine and proline. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents. The chemical reactions and pathways involving amino acids of the glutamine family, comprising arginine, glutamate, glutamine and proline. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including 2-oxoglutarate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including propionate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including aspartate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including fumarate. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glutamate into other compounds, including succinate. null The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of succinate from glutamate. Also known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyrate) shunt since it channels glutamate into the TCA cycle bypassing two steps of that cycle. There are three enzymes involved in the GABA shunt: glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), GABA aminotransferase (GABA-TA), and succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSADH). These three enzymes acting in concert to convert glutamate into succinate. The GABA shunt is predominantly associated with neurotransmission in the mammalian brain. It is also present in nonneuronal cells, in plants, in unicellular eukaryotes, and in prokaryotes.
