MNI-caged-L-glutamate is a form of glutamate linked to a 4-methoxy-7-nitroindolinyl (MNI) photoprotecting group that is pharmacologically inactive at neuronal glutamate receptors (up to mM concentrations).{32103} Upon exposure to light (300 – 380 nm excitation), L-glutamate is cleaved of MNI and released within submicroseconds.{32103} This compound can be used to investigate the mechanisms of fast synaptic glutamate receptors in situ.
