Investigating the Role of Loop C Hydrophilic Residue 'T244' in the Binding Site of ρ1 GABAC Receptors via Site Mutation and Partial Agonism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The loop C hydrophilic residue, threonine 244 lines the orthosteric binding site of ρ1 GABAC receptors was studied by point mutation into serine, alanine and cysteine, and tested with GABA, some representative partial agonists and antagonists. Thr244 has

Anaesthetic impairment of immune function is mediated via GABA(A) receptors.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundGABA(A) receptors are members of the Cys-loop family of neurotransmitter receptors, proteins which are responsible for fast synaptic transmission, and are the site of action of wide range of drugs.

An autocrine role for pituitary GABA: Activation of GABA-B receptors and regulation of growth hormone levels [PDF]
, 2002 There is increasing evidence suggesting that the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a local factor involved in the regulation of endocrine organs.

Regulation of Arabidopsis 14-3-3 gene expression by GABA. [PDF]
, 2006 The function in plants of the non-protein amino acid, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is poorly understood. In this study, we show that GABA down-regulates the expression of a large sub-set of 14-3-3 gene family members in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings ...

Role of GABA and its receptors in anti-adipogenesis in cultured adipocytes [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 Health benefits of GABA and GABA-enriched foods via anti-obesity activity have been demonstrated in animals. However, the functional roles of GABA especially as non-neurotransmitter in adipocytes have not been thoroughly clarified.

Emerging neurotrophic role of GABAB receptors in neuronal circuit development [PDF]
, 2013 The proper development of highly organized structures in the central nervous system is a complex process during which key events – neurogenesis, migration, growth, differentiation, and synaptogenesis – have to take place in an appropriate manner to ...

Stimulation of TM3 Leydig cell proliferation via GABAA receptors: A new role for testicular GABA
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2004 The neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and subtypes of GABA receptors were recently identified in adult testes. Since adult Leydig cells possess both the GABA biosynthetic enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), as well as GABAA and GABAB ...
