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.

1 Allosteric modulators: These do not bind to the agonist binding site of the receptor but instead on specific allosteric binding sites, through which they modify the effect of the agonist, e.g. benzodiazepines (BZDs) bind to the BZD site on the GABA-A receptor and potentiate the effect of endogenous GABA.ach receptor is linked to a specific cellular biochemical pathway. While numerous receptors are found in most cells, each receptor will only bind with ligands of a particular structure, much like how locks will only accept specifically shaped keys.
