γ-Aminobutyric acid

Description:

γ-Aminobutyric acid, commonly known as GABA, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that serves as a key neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is characterized by its four-carbon backbone, with an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached to the terminal carbon. GABA plays a crucial role in inhibiting neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system, thus contributing to the regulation of muscle tone and the modulation of anxiety and stress responses. It is a colorless, odorless solid that is soluble in water, making it bioavailable for various physiological functions. GABA is synthesized in the brain from glutamate, another amino acid, through the action of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase. Its therapeutic applications include the treatment of anxiety disorders, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions. Additionally, GABA is often studied for its potential effects on sleep regulation and cognitive function. As a dietary supplement, it is marketed for its purported calming effects, although its efficacy when taken orally remains a topic of ongoing research.

γ-Aminobutyric acid

CAS: 56-12-2

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. GABA binds to specific receptors and blocks voltage-dependent calcium channels, which are ion channels that allow the passage of calcium ions into cells. GABA also has a number of other functions, including biochemical properties, its role in brain function and drug interactions. The GABA receptor is found on neurons and is subject to modulation by drugs that interact with GABA receptors. In addition, GABA can react with water vapor to produce hydrogen bonding interactions. This reaction is used in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as an analytical tool for determining the concentration of free water in a sample.
