DL-2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (AP3) is an inhibitor of phosphoserine phosphatase and mGluR. Also known as the antagonist of a receptor that is coupled to phosphoinositide metabolism in brain slices. D,L-2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid is also an inhibitor of metabotropic glutamate receptors in rat brain.
ChEBI: 2-amino-3-phosphonopropanoic acid is a non-proteinogenc alpha-amino acid that is alanine in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group has been replaced by a dihydroxy(oxido)-lambda(5)-phosphanyl group. It has a role as a metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist and a human metabolite. It is a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid, a member of phosphonic acids and an alanine derivative.
Competitive group I metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist and inhibitor of phosphoserine phosphatase.
