Description

3-Methyl-GABA is a potent GABA aminotransferase activator. 3-Methyl-GABA can fit the binding pocket of GABAA receptor (GABAaR). 3-Methyl-GABA can activate L-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). 3-Methyl-GABA has anticonvulsant activity[1][2].

In Vitro

The GAD activation is stereoselective for the R isomer of 3-methyl GABA relative to the corresponding S isomer[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
