Product Description: DL-AP4 (Standard) is the analytical standard of DL-AP4. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. DL-AP4 (2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid) is a glutamate antagonist. DL-AP4 behaves as a competitive inhibitor of glutamate binding with an apparent Kd of 66 μM. DL-AP4 can be used for the research of central nervous system and visual system[1][2][3].
Formula: C4H10NO5P
