PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
4-Aminobutyric acid is a gamma-amino acid that is butanoic acid with the amino substituent located at C-4. It has a role as a signalling molecule, a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a neurotransmitter. It is a gamma-amino acid and a monocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to a butyric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-Aminobutyric. It is a tautomer of a 4-Aminobutyric acid zwitterion.
