GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the central nervous system that plays an integral role keeping a balance between inhibition and neuronal excitation that holds great importance in the proper functioning of human brain. Central nervous system is the place where the process of its production, release, reuptake and metabolism takes place. There are mainly two types of receptors with whom Gamma amino butyric acid interact i.e. GABA A 5-HTP and GABA B receptors. Functioning of GABA A GABA A is an ionotropic receptor and acts as a major binding site for GABA. Moreover, the excitability of neurons is greatly reduced by the activation of GABA A from GABA. GABA controls most of the psychological activity of GABA A 5HTP mdma receptors and its sub units could be found in many other major parts of the brain. However, the composition of these sub units varies significantly based on their subtypes and regions that define their functionality. It serves as one of the major receptors for GABA and holds great important among the gene super family of ligand gated ion channels.  It could also be found in many other tissues as well such as placenta, leydig cells, endocrine tissues, liver, immune cells and bone growth plates. Too little inhibition or too much excitation in the GABA could cause many health complications both physical and mental such as restlessness, anxiety, high blood pressure, convulsions and insomnia. Moreover, if disturbance caused in the neurons reaches to extreme level then it could also ...
