Kainic acid, prototypic kainate receptor agonist

Catalog Number:

ab120100

Kainate receptors have direct actions on intrinsic cell excitability in the hippocampus and modulate both glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic transmission in a number of brain regions. Because of its biological importance, we focused on screening endogenous metabolites to look for activators of kainate receptors. We used kainic acid as a positive control for the fluorescence-based screen.
