Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GABA metabolism involves the breakdown of GABA by the enzyme GABA transaminase (GABA-T), with vigabatrin being a medication that inhibits this enzyme. While GABA is primarily found in neurons, it can also be found in non-neuronal tissues such as the pancreas and liver. GABA decarboxylase is responsible for the production of GABA from glutamate, not its breakdown.
