QUICK LINKS

Isoguvacine is an agonist of Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), the common inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system. Isoguvacine interactions have many similar biochemical features of GABA synaptic function, but has been found to be less potent and contains limited conformational flexibility. Radiolabeled isoguvacine ([3H]Isoguvacine) has proven useful in experiments to label GABA neurons and produces strong binding to presumed GABA storage sites.
