General description

(±)-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid or DL-AP4 is a group III nonselective metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist. L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-Ap4) displays close to 500-fold selectivity for group III mGluRs.

Application

(±)-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid may be used as a glutamic acid receptor blocker in perfusion solution in the eye tissue electroretinography studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist.

Chronic neuropathic pain remains an unmet clinical problem because it is often resistant to conventional analgesics. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are involved in nociceptive processing at the spinal level, but their functions in neuropathic pain are not fully known. In

Ribbon synapses transmit information in sensory systems, but their development is not well understood. To test the hypothesis that ribbon assembly stabilizes nascent synapses, we performed simultaneous time-lapse imaging of fluorescently-tagged ribbons in retinal cone bipolar cells (BCs) and postsynaptic
