γaminobutyric acid

N-Nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA) is a tobacco-specific nitrosamine carcinogen.1It is oxidized to the reactive metabolite methyl-2-oxopropylnitrosamine (MOPN) in isolated rat liver mitochondria.2NMBA induces bladder transitional cell carcinomas in rats when administered in the drinking water at a concentration of 300 mg/L per day.3

Several different arachidonoyl amino acids, including N-arachidonoyl-3-hydroxy-γ-aminobutyric acid (NAG-3H-ABA), have been isolated and characterized from bovine brain. The glycine congener was further characterized and found to suppress formalin-induced pain in rats. NAG-3H-ABA was also found in rat brain by LC-MS techniques, but has not been fully characterized to date. Most arachidonoyl amino acids are poor ligands for the CB1 receptor.

γ-Aminobutyric acid (4-Aminobutyric acid) is the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

D(-)-2-Aminobutyric acid is a substrate of D-amino acid oxidase.

4-Aminobutyric acid-2,2,3,3,4,4-d6 is a deuterated compound of 4-Aminobutyric acid. 4-Aminobutyric acid has a CAS number of 56-12-2. 4-Aminobutyric acid is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

DL-2-Aminobutyric Acid is a natural product.

N-Nitroso-N-(methyl-d3)-4-aminobutyric Acid is a deuterated compound of N-Nitroso-N-(methyl)-4-aminobutyric Acid. N-Nitroso-N-(methyl)-4-aminobutyric Acid has a CAS number of 61445-55-4.
