Locating GABA in GABA receptor binding sites
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2009The Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channels contains both vertebrate and invertebrate members that are activated by GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid). Many of the residues that are critical for ligand binding have been identified in vertebrate GABAA and GABAC receptors, and specific interactions between GABA and some of these residues have been ...

AbstractGABA receptors are distributed widely throughout the central nervous system on a variety of cell types. It has become increasingly clear that astrocytes, both in cell culture and tissue slices, express abundant GABAA receptors. In astrocytes, GABA activates Cl−‐specific channels that are modulated by barbiturates and benzodiazepines; however ...

Neuroprotective agents inhibit reactions in the brain ischaemic injury cascade which lead to neuronal death. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring inhibitory neurotransmitter that increases chloride influx into the neuron and counteracts the toxic effects of glutamate.

GABA Transporters and GABA-Transaminase as Drug Targets
Current Drug Target -CNS & Neurological Disorders, 2003The fine-tuning and homeostatic balance of the GABAergic inhibitory tone in the central nervous system (CNS) is a prerequisite for controlling the excitatory neurotransmission. This principal mechanism for controlling excitation is inhibition which has been the topic of intensive research covering all known functional entities of the GABAergic synapse.

In summary, several branched-chain fatty acids appeared to be competitive inhibitors of GABA-T and non-competitive inhibitors of SSADH. These compounds produce an increase in brain GABA level, and for two of these it was shown that the increase differs among various brain areas. An increase of GABA cannot be obtained by inhibition of SSADH.

A number of important drugs act on GABA(A) receptors, pentameric GABA-gated chloride channels assembled from among 19 known subunits. In trying to discover the roles in the brain of the subunits and their combinations, with the goal of developing more selective drugs, one tool has been to reduce expression of the subunits and examine the functional ...

GABA and GABA receptors in invertebrates
Seminars in Neuroscience, 1991Abstract GABA is the major inhibitory transmitter at invertebrate synapses in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The receptors for GABA are well characterised electrophysiologically in a wide variety of invertebrate organisms but their biochemical and pharmacological profiles are less well defined. In general invertebrate GABA receptors
