Product Information

• Name: (R,S)-α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid hydrobromide
• Synonyms: D,L-α-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid hydrobromideAMPA
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (R,S)-AMPA is a synthetic analog of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate, specifically designed to activate AMPA receptors, a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors. These receptors are pivotal in mediating fast synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. (R,S)-AMPA serves as a prototypical agonist for AMPA receptors, facilitating the study of receptor function and synaptic plasticity.​
