Mouse Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (gABA) ELISA Kit-Competitive

GABA is crucial in the nervous system of mice, influencing neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. Research indicates that while the functional differences between the two subtypes of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65 and GAD67), the enzymes responsible for synthesizing GABA, remain unclear, gene targeting studies can help elucidate their specific roles. Additionally, GABA receptors, such as GABA_A and GABA_B, are vital in regulating anxiety, memory, and learning processes. Beyond its neurological functions, GABA also significantly impacts metabolic functions in mice. It enhances insulin sensitivity, lowers blood sugar levels, and promotes the browning of adipose tissue, thereby addressing obesity and metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, GABA positively affects intestinal health and energy metabolism by improving the composition of the intestinal microbiota through increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
