Description

Evans Blue (Direct Blue 53) is a potent inhibitor of L-glutamate uptake via the membrane bound excitatory amino acid transporter (EAAT). Evans Blue is a L-glutamate and kainate receptor-mediated currents inhibitor. Evans Blue has a strong affinity towards serum albumin, making it a high molecular weight protein tracer. Evans Blue is also used to study BBB (blood-brain barrier) permeability[1][2].-4°C (Powder, sealed storage, away from moisture)-Applications–Formula-C34H24N6Na4O14S4-Citation–References-[1]Anatol Manaenko, et al.
