Description

Alpha-amino-2H-tetrazole-5-acetic acid (AAT) is a neurotoxin that inhibits glutamate receptors and causes neuronal cell death. It also decreases heart function in rats by inhibiting the cardiac sodium channel. AAT has been shown to be effective for inducing neuronal death in Xenopus oocytes, as well as decreasing the expression of certain receptor protein, such as NMDA and AMPA receptor subtypes. AAT is also known to cause apoptosis, which may be due to its inhibition of receptor function.
