Key Product Details
Description
Product Description
Dihydrokainic acid is a selective EAAT2(GLT1) non-transportable inhibitor of L-glutamate and L-aspartate uptake (Ki = 23 μM). Dihydrokainic acid is 130-fold selective over EAAT1 and EAAT3 (Ki > 3 mM). In [3H]-d-Asp uptake assays in HEK293 cells expressing human EAAT2, EAAT1 and EAAT3, Ki values are 89 μM, > 3 mM and > 3 mM, respectively. Respective Km values in a FLIPR Membrane Potential (FMP) assay, are 31 μM, > 3 mM and > 3 mM

Species: MouseAssay Type: Ex VivoCell Line/Tissue: Bed nucleus of the stria terminalisVerified Customer | Posted 05/26/2020We performed ex-vivo slice physiology on Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) slices. We bath applied DHK (300 micromolar) on a BNST neuron in the current-clamp mode. DHK depolarized the neuron and the drug effect washed out.
