Description

TACA (trans-4-Aminocrotonic acid) is a potent agonist of GABAA and GABAC receptors (KD= 0.6 μM). TACA also is GABA uptake inhibitor and substrate for GABA-T. TACA produces late biphasic responses in the MPG neurons[1][2][3].

IC50 & Target

KD: 0.6 μM (GABAC)[1].

In Vivo

TACA is a potent competitive inhibitor of GABA uptake in rat brain slices and thus is possibly a substrate for the GABA uptake system[3].

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.
