Gamma-aminobutyric acid CAS 56-12-2 GABA

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), chemical name: 4-aminobutyric acid; alias: γ-aminobutyric acid, aminobutyric acid, pipecolic acid, widely distributed in animals and plants. Plants such as leguminous plants, ginseng plants, Chinese herbal medicines, etc. contain γ-aminobutyric acid in their seeds, rhizomes and tissue fluids. In animals, GABA is almost exclusively found in nerve tissue, with the content in brain tissue being approximately 0.1-0.6 mg/g tissue. Immunological studies have shown that the area with the highest concentration is the substantia nigra in the brain. γ-Aminobutyric acid is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter that has been studied in depth. It participates in a variety of metabolic activities and has high physiological activity.
