Description

Cis-3-aminocyclohexane carboxylic acid (CAC) is a cyclic peptide that has been shown to have glutamate receptor agonist and acetylcholine receptor agonist activity. CAC also inhibits the uptake of chloride ions by mammalian cells, which may be due to its inhibition of aminotransferase activity. CAC binds competitively with α-amino acids such as glutamate and β-amino acids such as β-alanine, inhibiting the enzymes that produce them. This antagonistic effect leads to an increase in the concentration of these neurotransmitters, resulting in increased transmission at the synapse.
