Product Data Sheet
MNI-caged kainate
Catalog No. A73913
MNI-caged kainate is a photoprotective derivative of the endogenous neuroactive amino acid kainate, with a primary mechanism of action involving the activation of AMPA receptors. Upon photorelease, it elicits substantial inward currents in Purkinje cells, facilitating the investigation of fast synaptic transmission dynamics. MNI-caged kainate is employed in studies aimed at elucidating synaptic receptor mechanisms, significantly contributing to our understanding of excitatory neurotransmission. Its rapid photorelease kinetics, occurring in the sub-microsecond range, makes it an invaluable tool for real-time studies of synaptic activity.
