General description
(±)-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid or DL-AP4 is a group III nonselective metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist. L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-Ap4) displays close to 500-fold selectivity for group III mGluRs.
Application
(±)-2-Amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid may be used as a glutamic acid receptor blocker in perfusion solution in the eye tissue electroretinography studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist.

We propose that the end product of chromophore bleaching in rod photoreceptors, all-trans retinol, is part of a feedback loop that increases the sensitivity of the phototransduction cascade in rods. A previously described light-induced hypersensitivity in rods, termed adaptive potentiation

Chronic neuropathic pain remains an unmet clinical problem because it is often resistant to conventional analgesics. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are involved in nociceptive processing at the spinal level, but their functions in neuropathic pain are not fully known. In
