Chemical Name: (4aR,5aR)-4,4a,5,5a-Tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[4,5]cyclopenta[1,2]pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid
Purity: ≥98%
Biological Activity
MK 1903 is a potent and selective hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2, GPR109A) full agonist; exhibits greater potency than niacin in a whole cell HTRF-cAMP assay (EC50 values are 12.9 and 51 nM respectively). Exhibits no binding at the GRP109B receptor.Technical Data
