    Product Description

    Tramiprosate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan mimetic that was reported to bind soluble Aβ and inhibit the interaction of Aβ with endogenous glycosaminoglycans, thereby preventing β-sheet formation.1 Conversely, tramiprosate was also reported to promote tau polymerization into fibrillar aggregates.2 It is also an analog of GABA that can act as a partial agonist of GABAA receptors, as well as an antagonist at GABAB receptors.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
