Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Aspartic acid is a nutrient component found in animal and vegetable sources. In clinical trials to alleviate opioid abstinence it was administered orally.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Activation of recombinant NMDA receptors was measured using two-electrode voltage clamp. Current and voltage electrodes were made from thin-walled borosilicate glass using a PP-830 electrode puller and when filled with 3 M KCl, possessed resistances of between 0.5 and 1.5 MΩ. Oocytes were voltage-clamped at potentials of -40 mV. Aspartate was able to activate wild type NR1/NR2A NMDA receptors with EC50 of 18.4 uM.
