Agmatine sulfate, 97%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Agmatine is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the polyamines putrescine and spermine. Agmatine binds with high affinity to α2-adrenergic receptors and imidazoline binding sites and produces blockade of the NMDA-receptor associated cation channels. Agmatine is a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase activity owing to mimicry of the natural NOS substrate arginine.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
