QuickDetect™ GABA (Human) ELISA Kit

gamma-Aminobutyric acid (γ-Aminobutyric acid) (GABA) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Its principal role is reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In vertebrates, GABA acts at inhibitory synapses in the brain by binding to specific transmembrane receptors in the plasma membrane of both pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes. In humans, GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone. BioVision’s GABA ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of GABA in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants in 90 minutes. The density of color is proportional to the amount of GABA captured from the samples.
