Properties of GABA receptors. GABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The inhibitory action of GABA is mediated by the receptors present on the cell membrane, and results in a reduction of neuronal excitablity.At least three types of GABA receptors have been characterized.ABA (g-aminobutyric acid) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

The production, release, action, and degradation of GABA at a stereotyped GABAergic synapse. Neurons that produce GABA as their output are called GABAergic neurons, and have chiefly inhibitory action at receptors in the adult vertebrate. Medium spiny cells are a typical example of inhibitory central nervous system GABAergic cells. In contrast, GABA exhibits both excitatory and inhibitory actions in insects, mediating muscle activation at synapses between nerves and muscle cells, and also the stimulation of certain glands.
