Chemical Properties
Off-white to faintly greenish powder
Uses
3-Aminopropylphosphonic acid was used as a selective antagonist of GABA(C) receptor.
Definition
ChEBI: (3-aminopropyl)phosphonic acid is a phosphonic acid in which the hydrogen attached to the phosphorus of phosphonic acid is substituted by a 3-aminopropyl group. It is a partial agonist of GABAB receptors. It has a role as a GABAB receptor agonist. It is a primary amino compound and a member of phosphonic acids. It is functionally related to a phosphonic acid. It is a tautomer of a (3-aminopropyl)phosphonic acid zwitterion.
General Description
The relative nonspecific binding of the DNA-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to the indium-tin oxide electrodes modified with 3-aminopropylphosphonic acid was examined by measuring the electrocatalytic anodic current of hydrazine caused by the nonspecifically absorbed AuNPs.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GABAB receptor agonist; antagonist of basal prolactin secretion.
