Product Overview:
α-NAAG is a peptide neurotransmitter that is widely expressed throughout mammalian central and peripheral nervous systems.{58431} Following synaptic release, α-NAAG activates postsynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (mGluR3) to inhibit cAMP production in neurons and astrocytes, as well as acts on presynaptic mGluR3 to inhibit the release of amine neurotransmitters, including GABA and glutamate.{58431,58432} Increasing α-NAAG levels via NAAG peptidase inhibition reduces trauma-induced excitotoxic cell death in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury, as well as reduces hyperalgesia in various rodent pain models and schizophrenia-like stereotypic behaviors induced by phencyclidine in rats.{58431} Tumor levels of α-NAAG are positively correlated with tumor grade in patients with gliomas and meningiomas.{58433}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
