Odontoblasts were enriched with glutamate, at the level as high as in adjacent pulpal axons.
Glutamate level in odontoblasts and mGluR5 expression in adjacent axons were increased following dentin injury.
Application of calcium ionophore induced glutamate release from cultured odontoblasts.
These findings suggest that odontoblast may release glutamate as a neuroactive substance.
