摘要: GABA is a four-C, nonprotein amino acid found in virtually all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms as a significant component of the free amino acid pool. In higher plants GABA is synthesized primarily through the H+-consuming a-decarboxylation of L-glutamate (L-Glu) in a reaction (L-Glu+ H+-+ GABA+ CO,) catalyzed by LG~ u decarboxylase (EC 4.1. 1.15). It is metabolized through a reversible transamination (GABA+ pyruvate= succinic semialdehyde+ Ala) catalyzed by GABA transaminase (EC 2.6. 1.19). The product of …
