How to use

In Vitro:

[3H]Brimonidine (UK 14304) is a full agonist at alpha 2-adrenergic receptors. [3H]Brimonidine (UK 14304) labels at least 2 specific binding sites in human brain that both have the characteristics of an alpha 2-adrenergic binding site. GTP decreases agonist binding at both of these sites, but with different potencies at each site [1-3].
