CNQX disodium salt (Cat.No:I010362) is a competitive antagonist of AMPA and kainate receptors. It blocks the activity of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in excitatory synaptic transmission. CNQX is commonly used in neuroscience research to study the role of AMPA and kainate receptors in neuronal function and synaptic plasticity.
