Characterization of GABA Receptors [PDF]

Current Protocols in Pharmacology, 1998
AbstractDescribed in this unit are ligand‐binding assays for GABAA, GABAB, and the homomeric ρ GABAA(formerly GABAC) receptor recognition sites in brain tissue. Although GABA binding sites are present in peripheral organs, most research is directed toward examining these receptors in the CNS.

Expression of GABAergic receptors in mouse taste receptor cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Multiple excitatory neurotransmitters have been identified in the mammalian taste transduction, with few studies focused on inhibitory neurotransmitters.

GABA_B Receptors Tonically Inhibit Motoneurons and Neurotransmitter Release from Descending and Primary Afferent Fibers

Life, 2023
Motoneurons receive thousands of excitatory and inhibitory synapses from descending tracts and primary afferent fibers. The excitability of these neurons must be precisely regulated to respond adequately to the requirements of the environment.

Endoplasmic reticulum sorting and kinesin-1 command the targeting of axonal GABAB receptors. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In neuronal cells the intracellular trafficking machinery controls the availability of neurotransmitter receptors at the plasma membrane, which is a critical determinant of synaptic strength.

GABA_A-ρ Receptors in the CNS: Their Functional, Pharmacological, and Structural Properties in Neurons and Astroglia

Neuroglia, 2023
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known as the main inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), where it hyperpolarizes mature neurons through activation of GABAA receptors, pentameric complexes assembled by combination of subunits (α1–6,

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.

Neuronal Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Type A Receptors Undergo Cognate Ligand Chaperoning in the Endoplasmic Reticulum by Endogenous GABA

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
GABAA receptors mediate fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. Dysfunction of these receptors is associated with various psychiatric/neurological disorders and drugs targeting this receptor are widely used therapeutic agents.

Current Perspective on the Location and Function of Gamma- Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its Metabolic Partners in the Kidney. [PDF]

, 2014
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter located in the mammalian central nervous system, which binds to GABAA and GABAB receptors to mediate its neurological effects.

GABA maintains the proliferation of progenitors in the developing chick ciliary marginal zone and non-pigmented ciliary epithelium.

PLoS ONE, 2012
GABA is more than the main inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the adult CNS. Several studies have shown that GABA regulates the proliferation of progenitor and stem cells.

Evidence for a GABAergic system in rodent and human testis: Local GABA production and GABA receptors [PDF]

, 2003
The major neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), exerts its actions through GABA(A), GABA(B) and GABA(C) receptors.
