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.

GABAA receptors exist as pentamers of 4TM subunits that form an intrinsic anion selective channel. Sequences of six Î±, three Î², three Î³, one Î´, three Ï, one Îµ, one Ï and one Î¸ GABAA receptor subunits have been reported in mammals [40-41,48,50]. The Ï-subunit is restricted to reproductive tissue.
