The synthetic peptide (Tat-Glur23Y) contains tyrosine residues that blocks phosphorylation of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor endocytosis. Previous research shows that Tat-Glur23Y blocks regulated AMPA and thereby prevents long-term depression (LTD) in structures such as the nucleus accumbens and dorsal hippocampus.
