Names

[ Name ]:
(R,S)-MCPG sodium salt

[Synonym ]:
Benzeneacetic acid, α-amino-4-carboxy-α-methyl-, sodium salt (1:2)
Disodium 4-(1-amino-1-carboxylatoethyl)benzoate

Biological Activity

[Description]:

MCPG is a carboxylic phenyl glycine. MCPG can block metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)(HY-15129) and has antagonistic activity of mGluR subtype. MCPG can be used to study the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) [1].
