BH-IAA is a potent auxin antagonist.

8-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)octanoic acid is a peptide that is used as a research tool in the study of ion channels and cell biology. It has been shown to activate voltage-gated potassium channels, which are important in the regulation of membrane potentials. This compound also inhibits the interaction between proteins, such as antibodies and receptors. 8-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)octanoic acid has been shown to bind to lysosomal protein receptor 1 (LRP1), which is involved in the uptake of lipids from cells.
