GABA-Amino Acid Transporters

GABA-Amino Acid Transporters are specialized proteins located in cell membranes that help move amino acids and neurotransmitters, like GABA, in and out of cells. They maintain the balance of these important molecules, which are crucial for communication between nerve cells in the brain and nervous system. By regulating GABA levels, these transporters play a key role in controlling neural activity, impacting mood, sleep, and anxiety. They work through a process called active or facilitated transport, ensuring that neurotransmitters like GABA are available at the right times and places for proper brain function.
