The versatile GABA in plants [PDF]
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a ubiquitous four-carbon, non-protein amino acid. GABA has been widely studied in animal central nervous systems, where it acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. In plants, it is metabolized through the GABA shunt pathway, a bypass of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and GABA-receptors (GABA-Rs) form a major neurotransmitter system in the brain. GABA-Rs are also expressed by 1) cells of the innate and adaptive immune system and act to inhibit their inflammatory activities, and 2) lung ...

Investigation on Hypothalamic GABAergic system difference of local and Leghorn hens based on RNA-Seq dataset [PDF]
Objective: g-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid synthesized by decarboxylation of glutamate by the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase. The central nervous system (CNS) contains uniquely high concentrations of GABA, and GABA serves as a ...

The most abundant synapses in the central nervous system of vertebrates are inhibitory synapses that use the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABA is also an important neurotransmitter in C. elegans; however, in contrast to vertebrates where GABA acts at synapses of the central nervous system, in nematodes GABA acts primarily at ...
