N-1-Naphthylphthalamic acid (Cat No.:R030232) is a chemical compound primarily used in plant biology and biochemical research. It functions as an inhibitor of auxin transport, specifically blocking the movement of the plant hormone auxin within plant tissues. This disruption of auxin transport can alter plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stimuli. NPA is often used in studies of plant physiology to investigate the role of auxin in processes such as cell elongation, root development, and tropisms. Its ability to modulate auxin transport makes it a valuable tool in plant research and development.
