Abcam, ab120409, RuBi-GABA, caged-GABA compound

Size: 10mg
MW 922.8 Da. Novel caged-GABA compound that uses a ruthenium complex as photosensor. Can be excited with visible wavelengths, providing greater tissue penetration, less photo-toxicity, and faster photorelease kinetics than other UV light-sensitive caged compounds. Can be used for GABA receptor mapping, and optical silencing of neuronal firing.
