Bioactivity | MNI-caged-NMDA is a light-sensitive amino acid with rapid release properties suitable for use in the study of fast synaptic receptor mechanisms. MNI-caged-NMDA shows metered release of NMDA receptors, inducing rapid and sustained receptor activation in cerebellar interneurons. MNI-caged-NMDA is able to achieve rapid transient responses and generate large inward currents by local laser photolysis. The use of MNI-caged-NMDA can effectively study neurotransmitter signaling and its inhibitory effects on GABA-A receptors[1]. |
