Biological Data
| Biological description | DL-AP5 is a competitive NMDA receptor antagonist which binds at the glutamate site. Impairs learning and fear conditioning. Water soluble DL-AP5 sodium salt also available. |
| Application notes | DL-AP5 from Hello Bio reduces the evoked NMDAR current at concentrations of 1 and 10 μM with full receptor antagonism achieved at 50 μM (see Fig 1 above). It was dissolved in water at 10 mM.
#Protocol 1: Evoked NMDA receptor currents
