Product Data Sheet
Evans Blue
Catalog No. A16544
Evans Blue is a potent inhibitor of L-glutamate uptake through the membrane-bound excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT). This compound effectively inhibits L-glutamate and kainate receptor-mediated currents, making it valuable for research into neurophysiological processes. Additionally, due to its strong affinity for serum albumin, Evans Blue serves as a high molecular weight protein tracer and is widely used to investigate blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability.
