Description
L-Quisqualic acid is a glutamate receptor agonist that acts at AMPA receptors and mGluR, positively linked to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. L-Quisqualic acid was shown to induce a slow K(+)-current response in B6 neurons of Aplysia buccal ganglia. L-Quisqualic acid exhibits neuroprotective properties and may be beneficial for prostate cancer therapy.
