GABAA receptor

GABAA receptors are a type of receptor in the central nervous system that respond to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. These receptors play a crucial role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. GABAA receptors are ionotropic receptors, meaning they are ligand-gated ion channels.
