L-AP4 (CAT: I000688) is a drug commonly used in scientific research as a selective agonist for the group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR4/6/7/8). It specifically activates these receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors found in the central nervous system. By binding to and activating mGluR4/6/7/8, L-AP4 modulates glutamatergic signaling and has been implicated in regulating various neuronal processes and functions. Its use in research helps to elucidate the roles of group III metabotropic glutamate receptors and their potential therapeutic applications in neurological disorders and conditions.
