GABA Metabolism and Transport

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of GABA metabolism and transport products for use in various applications. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a critical neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, primarily responsible for inhibitory signaling. Understanding GABA metabolism and transport is vital in neuroscience research as it provides insights into how inhibitory signals are regulated within the brain. Researchers utilize GABA metabolism and transport products to study the enzymatic pathways involved in the synthesis and degradation of GABA, such as the roles of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and GABA transaminase. These products also help in investigating the function and regulation of GABA transporters, which are essential for maintaining appropriate GABA levels in synaptic and extrasynaptic spaces. By examining GABAergic signaling, scientists can explore the mechanisms underlying various neurological and psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, epilepsy, and sleep disorders. Additionally, GABA metabolism and transport products are used in the development of experimental models to study the effects of genetic modifications and pharmacological agents on GABAergic systems. By providing a comprehensive selection of high-quality GABA metabolism and transport products, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports cutting-edge research in neurobiology, enabling scientists to achieve precise and reproducible results.
