γ-Aminobutyricacid (/ˈɡæmə əˈmiːnoʊbjuːˈtɪrɨk ˈæsɨd/; or GABA /ˈɡæbə/) is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammaliancentral nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitabilitythroughout the nervous system. In humans, GABA is also directly responsible forthe regulation of muscle tone.
Althoughin chemical terms it is an amino acid, GABA is rarely referred to as such inthe scientific or medical communities, because the term "amino acid,"used without a qualifier, by convention refers to the alpha amino acids, whichGABA is not, nor is it considered to be incorporated into proteins.
