UCB-J is a highly selective and potent positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand used to image synaptic density in the brain. It targets the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A), a protein present in all synapses, making it a valuable tool for studying neurological disorders characterized by synaptic loss, such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. UCB-J enables researchers to visualize and quantify synaptic density in vivo, providing critical insights into disease progression and the impact of therapeutic interventions on synaptic health.
