A GABA reuptake inhibitor (GRI) is a type of drug which acts as a reuptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) by blocking the action of the gamma-Aminobutyric acid transporters (GATs). This in turn leads to increased extracellular concentrations of GABA and therefore an increase in GABAergic neurotransmission. [1]
Like other GABA-T inhibitors, γ-acetylenic GABA causes GABA levels in the brain to be elevated. This is due to 4-aminobutyrate transaminase being the enzyme that converts γ-aminobutyric acid to L-glutamate. Inhibiting the enzyme stops this conversion from happening.
[36] [37] [38] Although the term "GABA С receptor" is frequently used, GABA С may be viewed as a variant within the GABA A receptor family. [7] Others have argued that the differences between GABA С and GABA A receptors are large enough to justify maintaining the distinction between these two subclasses of GABA receptors.
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.
