Produktinformation

• Name: Kainic Acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Kainic Acid is a potent neuroexcitant, which is derived from certain species of red algae such as Digenea simplex. It acts as an agonist of kainate receptors, a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors, leading to excitotoxicity through the influx of calcium ions and the overactivation of neuronal circuits. Kainic Acid's ability to induce seizures by mimicking the neurotransmitter glutamate makes it an invaluable tool in neuroscientific research.
