Background γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter which mainly mediates its effects on neurons via ionotropic (GABAA) and metabotropic (GABAB) receptors.

Investigating the Role of Loop C Hydrophilic Residue 'T244' in the Binding Site of ρ1 GABAC Receptors via Site Mutation and Partial Agonism. [PDF]
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

Mechanisms of Action, Resistance and Toxicity of Insecticides Targeting GABA Receptors.
BACKGROUND γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors play a central role in fast inhibitory neurotransmission in insects. Several classes of insecticides targeting insect GABA-gated chloride channels have been developed.

Anaesthetic impairment of immune function is mediated via GABA(A) receptors.
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.

Azo-propofols: photochromic potentiators of GABA(A) receptors.
Shine and rise! GABA(A) receptors are ligand-gated chloride ion channels that respond to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the mammalian central nervous system.

Stress and GABAAreceptors [PDF]
J. Neurochem.(2010)112, 1115–1130.AbstractGABAAreceptors are sensitive to subtle changes in the environment in both early‐life and adulthood. These neurochemical responses to stress in adulthood are sex‐dependent. Acute stress induces rapid changes in GABAAreceptors in experimental animals, with the direction of the changes varying according to the sex

Filial imprinting of domestic chicks has a well-defined sensitive (critical) period lasting in the laboratory from hatching to day 3. It is a typical model to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying memory formation in early learning. We recently

Research conducted on individuals with depression reveals that major depressive disorders (MDDs) coincide with diminished levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, as well as modifications in the subunit ...

Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is well known to help elevate pancreatic β cell vitality and insulin levels in blood. GABA works via a coupling with GABA receptors; thus, the concentration of GABAA receptors on the plasma membrane of β cells appears to ...

Molecular basis for the high THIP/gaboxadol sensitivity of extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors.
Extrasynaptic GABA(A) receptors (eGABARs) allow ambient GABA to tonically regulate neuronal excitability and are implicated as targets for ethanol and anesthetics.
