[2] [3] [4] The pathway is a minor pathway in GABA synthesis compared to the main pathway in which GABA is synthesized from glutamate. [2] [3] [4] However, the pathway has been found to have an important physiological role in the brain, for instance in the production of GABA in the striatum and resultant inhibition of dopaminergic neurons in ...

The ionotropic GABA A receptor protein complex is also the molecular target of the benzodiazepine class of tranquilizer drugs. Benzodiazepines do not bind to the same receptor site on the protein complex as does the endogenous ligand GABA (whose binding site is located between α- and β-subunits), but bind to distinct benzodiazepine binding sites situated at the interface between the α- and ...

In pharmacology, GABA A receptor positive allosteric modulators, also known as GABAkines or GABA A receptor potentiators, [1] are positive allosteric modulator (PAM) molecules that increase the activity of the GABA A receptor protein in the vertebrate central nervous system. GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
The glutamate/GABA–glutamine cycle is a metabolic pathway that describes the release of either glutamate or GABA from neurons which is then taken up into astrocytes (non-neuronal glial cells). In return, astrocytes release glutamine to be taken up into neurons for use as a precursor to the synthesis of either glutamate or GABA.
[39] [40] However, since GABA С receptors are closely related in sequence, structure, and function to GABA A receptors and since other GABA A receptors besides those containing ρ subunits appear to exhibit GABA С pharmacology, the Nomenclature Committee of the IUPHAR has recommended that the GABA С term no longer be used and these ρ ...
