Beschreibung

General description

L-BMAA hydrochloride/β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) is a cyanobacterial neurotoxin.

Application

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.

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.[1]
