Product Information
| Description: | MPTP is a brain penetrant dopamine neurotoxin. MPTP is dehydrogenated in nigrostriatal cells to generate MPP+, which in turn inhibits mitochondrial complex enzymes and contributes to cell death. MPTP can be used to construct animal models of Parkinson's disease. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
