Application
Cinnabarinic acid may be used in studies of the functions of components of the kynurenine metabolic pathway. It may be used to study it role as a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGlu4R-specific) agonist.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Caspase Inducer; mGlu4R agonistCinnabarinic acid (CA) connects between initiation of the kynurenine pathway and immune tolerance that is used to prevent neuroinflammation.
Cinnabarinic acid is a kynurenine pathway metabolite of tryptophan, produced by the oxidation of 3-Hydroxyanthranilic acid. Cinnabarinic acid leads to loss of mitochondrial respiration and apoptosis, and has also been shown to be an mGlu4R-specific agonist.
