Quisqualic acid

SKU: orb3177750

Description

Quisqualic acid is an agonist of the AMPA, kainate, and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. Quisqualic acid is among the most potent AMPA receptor agonists currently characterized. Quisqualic acid induces excitotoxicity and is widely utilized in neuroscience research to selectively destroy neurons in the brain or spinal cord. Quisqualic acid occurs naturally in the seeds of Quisqualis species. Quisqualic acid is particularly valuable for investigations involving glutamatergic neurotransmission, receptor pharmacology, excitotoxic neuronal injury, and neural circuit mapping.
