General description

Research area: Neuroscience


GABase is a commercially available mixture composed of γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABGT) and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (SSDH) obtained from Pseudomonas fluorescens.[1][2]

Application

GABase from Pseudomonas fluorescens has been used for GABase assay to quantify the extracellular and intracellular concentration of GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid).[1][2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

GABase catalyzes the conversion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to succinic acid in the central nervous system. It is used to measure GABA levels in various biological samples. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (HBA) is known to be a potential inhibitor on GABase.[3]

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to succinic semialdehyde and then to succinate per min with a stoichiometric reduction of 1.0 μmole of NADP+ at pH 8.6 at 25 °C.

Physical form

Partially purified lyophilized powder containing buffer salts and stabilizer

Imbalances in levels of glutamate (GLU) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and their sub-second signaling dynamics occur in several brain disorders including traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and Alzheimer's disease. The present work reports on the optimization and in vivo testing of

Many studies have focussed on modulating the activity of γ-aminobutyric acid transaminase (GABA-T), a GABA-catabolizing enzyme, for treating neurological diseases, such as epilepsy and drug addiction. Nevertheless, human GABA-T synthesis and purification have not been established. Thus, biochemical and drug

It is well established that the glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is central to the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low pH, both in acidic foods and within the mammalian stomach. The accepted model proposes that under acidic conditions extracellular glutamate

L-threo-3-Fluoroglutamate and L-erythro-3-fluoroglutamate were tested with glutamate decarboxylase from Escherichia coli. Both isomers were substrates: the threo isomer was decarboxylated into optically active 4-amino-3-fluorobutyrate, whereas the erythro isomer lost the fluorine atom during the reaction, yielding succinic semialdehyde after hydrolysis

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  
  1. How do I solubilize Product No. G7509, GABase from Pseudomonas fluorescens?

    1 answer
    1. Sigma recommends to dissolve the product with 75 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, containing 25% (v/v) glycerol to a concentration of 2-5 units per mL. Keep the solution in an ice bath while using and store solution frozen. This solution may be stored frozen and thawed several times with only slight loss of activity.
