| Bioactivity | MNI-caged kainate is a photoprotected neuroactive amino acid with the activity to generate large inward currents. MNI-caged kainate can be released at the resting membrane potential of Purkinje cells and generate significant inward currents. The release of MNI-caged kainate results in approximately 40% of the current being generated through AMPA receptor activation. MNI-caged kainate is used to study fast synaptic receptor mechanisms. The photorelease time of MNI-caged kainate is in the sub-microsecond range, making it suitable for investigating the mechanisms of fast synaptic transmission[1]. |
