Levodopa sodium

    WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Hodoodo CAT#: H592453

CAS#: 63302-01-2 (sodium)

Description: Levodopa is the naturally occurring form of DIHYDROXYPHENYLALANINE and the immediate precursor of DOPAMINE. Unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to DOPAMINE.
