4-Aminobutyric acid,gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA) CAS NO.56-12-2

Chemical Name:GABA(gamma aminobutyric acid),4-aminobutyric acid, gammalon, piperidic acid 

                                Structure: NH2CH2CH2CH2COOH 

Molecular formula: C4H9NO2   Molecular Weight: 103.12

 Gamma Aminobutyric Acid （GABA）is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In humans, GABA is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone.Although chemically it is an amino acid, GABA is rarely referred to as such in the scientific or medical communities, because the term "amino acid," used without a qualifier, conventionally refers to the alpha amino acids, which GABA is not, nor is it ever incorporated into a protein.In spastic diplegia in humans, GABA absorption becomes impaired by nerves damaged from the condition's upper motor neuron lesion, which leads tohypertonia of the muscles signaled by those nerves that can no longer absorb GABA.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
It is not only harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed, but also irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. If you want to contact this product, you must wear suitable protective clothing.
