Biological Data

Biological description

Novel, caged, fast-equilibrating version of the low-affinity competitive glutamate antagonist γ-DGG. Photo-release (e.g. by flashlamp or laser photolysis) releases γ-DGG. Photo-release of MNI-caged-γDGG (at concentrations up to 5mM) releases γ-DGG at concentrations up to 1.5mM in 1ms in wide-field flashlamp photolysis at climbing fiber-Purkinje cell (CF-PC) synapses without affecting (CF-PC) transmission. Photo-released γ-DGG has been shown to inhibit the CF- first and second paired EPSCs by ~30-60% respectively at concentrations of 0.55-1.7mM.

MNI-caged γ-DGG may be used as a synaptic probe as photolysis of MNI-caged γ-DGG resolves timing and extent of transmitter activation of receptors in glutamatergic transmission.
