Spermine tetrahydrochloride
Chemical Name: N,N'-Bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-butanediamine tetrahydrochloride
Biological Activity
Spermine tetrahydrochloride is a polyamine which produces a variety of modulatory effects on the NMDA receptor channel, acting through a specific site on the complex which can cause both agonist and antagonist effects.Technical Data
