The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Glutamate is abundant in the human body, but particularly in the nervous system and especially prominent in the human brain where it is the body's most prominent neurotransmitter, the brain's main excitatory neurotransmitter, and also the precursor for GABA, the brain's main inhibitory neurotransmitter.
- Glutamate receptors are responsible for the glutamate-mediated postsynaptic excitation of neural cells, and are important for neural communication, memory formation, learning, and regulation.
- Glutamate receptors are implicated in a number of neurological conditions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Glutamate receptor article was read about 17,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 76: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
