mGluR
Metabotropic glutamate receptors
mGluR (metabotropic glutamate receptor) is a type of glutamate receptor that are active through an indirect metabotropic process. They are members of thegroup C family of G-protein-coupled receptors, or GPCRs. Like all glutamate receptors, mGluRs bind with glutamate, an amino acid that functions as an excitatoryneurotransmitter. The mGluRs perform a variety of functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems: mGluRs are involved in learning, memory, anxiety, and the perception of pain. mGluRs are found in pre- and postsynaptic neurons in synapses of the hippocampus, cerebellum, and the cerebral cortex, as well as other parts of the brain and in peripheral tissues. Eight different types of mGluRs, labeled mGluR1 to mGluR8, are divided into groups I, II, and III. Receptor types are grouped based on receptor structure and physiological activity.

ADX88178
0 ImagesADX88178 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier-penetrant, selective positive allosteric modulator of mGluR4, with an EC50 of 3.5 nM against hmGluR4. ADX88178 modulates mGlu4 activity, enhances glutamate-mediated receptor activation, and increases the apparent affinity of glutamate for the receptor. ADX88178 reverses haloperidol-induced catalepsy, potentiates the effects of levodopa (L-DOPA) and quinpirole, but fails to alleviate established abnormal involuntary movements, does not exacerbate L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia, and does not affect forelimb akinesia when administered alone. ADX88178 can be used in research related to L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia and Parkinson's disease.

L-Glutamine-1-13C
0 ImagesSynonyms: L-Glutamic acid 5-amide-1-13CL-Glutamine-1-13C is the 13C-labeled L-Glutamine (HY-N0390). L-Glutamine is an orally active nutritional agent and cellular metabolism regulator. L-Glutamine is taken up in a Na+-dependent manner and targets multiple key molecules including glutaminase, mTORC1, NF-κB, STAT-3 and HIF-1α. L-Glutamine enhances glutaminolytic catabolism, drives the conversion of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate, thereby regulating gene expression, integrating metabolic signals, mediating glutamine flux and maintaining redox homeostasis. L-Glutamine also promotes cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and fracture healing, exerts neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects, and inhibits osteoarthritis. L-Glutamine can be applied to research related to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, ischemic stroke and acute cantharidin-induced cardiotoxicity.
