| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
L-BMAA hydrochloride has been used as a standard to compare all the samples in the analysis of β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) isomers in desert crust material. It has also been used as an additive with f/2+Si medium?to treat the cells of?Phaeodactylum tricornutum and?Thalassiosira weissflogii?to study its effect on them. | [General Description]
L-BMAA hydrochloride/β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is a cyanobacterial neurotoxin. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
L-BMAA hydrochloride helps to block the addition of heparan sulfate to glypican-1. It possesses unusual glutamate receptor binding properties. It may cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Lou Gehrig′s disease. | [storage]
