Prazosin, [7-Methoxy-³H]-, 25µCi (925kBq)

Prazosin is an α1-blocker, and is used to treat high blood pressure, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It binds the α1-adrenergic receptor, a GPCR that plays a role in vasconstriction and appetite suppression.

We offer both agonist and antagonist radioligands for autoradiographic visualization or performing saturation and competition assays to determine receptor expression levels (B_max), dissociation constants (K_d), association and dissociation rates (k_on and k_off), and inhibitor constants (K_i) for a variety of receptors. We develop our radioligands to the highest specific activity possible and provide high purity resulting in low non-specific binding products. Each of our ultra-pure radioligands is fully characterized for pharmacological action and validated in receptor binding assays.

Radiolabeled ligands remain the most sensitive method for probing receptor binding biology; yielding unprecedented sensitivity gives results that technicians and scientists can trust. For over 50 years, 爱游戏平台注册登录 has been a leading supplier of New England Nuclear (NEN) radiochemicals, liquid scintillation cocktails, vials and nuclear counting detection instruments.
