γ-Aminobutyric acid (30 μM) depolarizes cortical progenitor cells (E16 cells), results an inward current in ventricular zone (VZ) cells, and induces DNA synthesis inhibition, with half-maximal response concentration of 5 μM.
Cortical plate (cp) neurons expresses glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), γ-Aminobutyric acid (1-5 μM; 18 h) stimulates the motility and arrests the migration of cp cells, while the chemotropic signal is involved G-protein activation.
γ-Aminobutyric acid activates GABA A receptors, causing cell cycle arrest in S phase and limiting growth.
Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
