Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - It is a protein of the cytochrome P450 family. - It is expressed in a wide range of brain regions, including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. - It is a key enzyme in the degradation of GABA. - It is also involved in the synthesis of gaba and the reuptake of GABA into neurons. **Pathways and functions:** - The ABAT gene is involved in the (-)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate transaminase (AMPA) pathway, which is responsible for the synthesis of GABA from glutamate. - It is also involved in the degradation of gaba through the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) catabolism pathway. - It is also involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the ABAT gene have been linked to autism, schizophrenia, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. - ABAT inhibitors are being investigated as potential treatments for these disorders. **Additional information:** - The ABAT gene is also involved in the regulation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels. - It is a highly conserved protein, with a similar sequence in mammals and humans. - It is a well-characterized protein that has been extensively studied in models of neurodegenerative diseases.
