3-Amino-4-hydroxybutyric acid

Description:
3-Amino-4-hydroxybutyric acid, commonly known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays a crucial role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is characterized by its structure, which includes an amino group (-NH2), a hydroxyl group (-OH), and a four-carbon backbone. GABA is known for its inhibitory function, helping to regulate neuronal excitability and maintain a balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of both amino and hydroxyl groups. GABA is involved in various physiological processes, including muscle relaxation, anxiety reduction, and sleep regulation. It is also studied for its potential therapeutic applications in treating conditions such as epilepsy, anxiety disorders, and insomnia. The CAS number 589-44-6 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating research and regulatory processes.
