2-Amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid

Description:

2-Amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid, commonly referred to as APB, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a phosphonic acid group. This compound is notable for its role as a selective agonist of the metabotropic glutamate receptor, particularly in research related to neurobiology and pharmacology. Structurally, it features a four-carbon backbone with an amino group located at the second carbon and a phosphonobutanoic acid moiety at the fourth carbon. APB is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biological applications. Its unique structure allows it to interact with neurotransmitter systems, influencing synaptic transmission and neuronal signaling. Additionally, due to its phosphonic acid group, it exhibits properties similar to phosphoric acid derivatives, which can be relevant in biochemical pathways. Overall, 2-Amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid serves as a valuable tool in scientific research, particularly in studies involving glutamate receptors and their associated pathways.
