SKF-89976A was used to study the role of adenosine receptors in uptake of GABA transport.4,5
生物化学的/生理学的作用
GABA transporter type 1 (GAT-1) inhibitor that crosses the blood brain barrier.
SKF-89976A contains a cyclic amino acid with lipophilic moiety that enables the compound to cross the blood-brain barrier.1,2 It decreases the excitotoxic swelling of chick retina cells by blocking the glutamate-induced GABA release.3

Acute excitotoxicity in the chick retina is characterized by cellular swelling and the subsequent selective release of GABA. In order to understand the source of GABA release, embryonic day 15 retina were incubated with 1 mM glutamate for 30 min

The relations between apparent affinity for substrates and operating rates have been investigated by two-electrode voltage clamp in the GABA transporter rGAT1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We have measured the transport current induced by the presence of GABA, as well

Persistent activation of GABAA receptors by extracellular GABA (tonic inhibition) plays a critical role in signal processing and network excitability in the brain. In hippocampal principal cells, tonic inhibition has been reported to be mediated by alpha5-subunit-containing GABAA receptors (alpha5GABAARs).

The effect of GABA on glutamate release from astrocytes has been studied in healthy mice and in a murine transgenic model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), using mouse spinal cord gliosomes labeled with [(3)H]d-aspartate ([(3)H]d-ASP). GABA concentration-dependently evoked the release

For a short time during development immature circuits in the spinal cord and other parts of the central nervous system spontaneously generate synchronous patterns of rhythmic activity. In the case of the spinal cord, it is still unclear how strongly
