Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Aminobutylphosphonic acid, a GABA B receptor ligand, is used in studies on the regulation of prolactin (PRL) secretion and differential GABA receptor research.
4-aminobutylphosphonic acid, the phosphonic acid analogue of delta-aminovaleric acid, inhibits gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA-B receptor) binding without influencing either isoproterenol- or forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP production.

H P De Koning et al.
Endocrinology, 132(2), 674-681 (1993-02-01)
The activity of many endocrine cells is regulated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The effects of GABA are mediated by GABAA and/or GABAB receptors. While GABAB receptors in the central nervous system have now been extensively characterized, little is known of

A strain of the yeast Kluyveromyces fragilis was screened for its ability to utilize a range of synthetic and natural organophosphonate compounds as the sole source of phosphorus, nitrogen or carbon. Only 4-aminobutylphosphonate was utilized as sole nitrogen source with

Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 357(4), 408-412 (1998-05-30)
The effects of five phosphonic derivatives of GABA on the release of [3H]-GABA from rat neocortical slices, preloaded with [3H]-GABA, were investigated. Phaclofen and 4-aminobutylphosphonic acid (4-ABPA) increased the overflow of [3H] evoked by electrical stimulation (2 Hz) in a
