Gamma Aminobutyric Acidis an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It inhibits nerve transmission in the brain, calming nervous activity. As a supplement it is sold and promoted for these neurotransmitter effects as a natural tranquilizer. It is also used as increasing levels and is popular among body builders. CAS RN.: | 56-12-2 |

2. ApplicationNeurotransmitter | - In vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes.
- Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate.
|
Brain development | - The main observation was that in the hippocampus and neocortex of the mammalian brain, GABA has primarily excitatory effects.
|
Other application | - Depression
- Premenstrual Syndrome
- Male Contraceptive
