Difference between GABA analogue and GABAA receptor

GABA analogue vs. GABAA receptor

A GABA analogue is a compound which is an analogue or derivative of the neurotransmitter gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) (the IUPAC of which is 4-aminobutanoic acid). The GABAA receptor (GABAAR) is an ionotropic receptor and ligand-gated ion channel.

Similarities between GABA analogue and GABAA receptor

GABA analogue and GABAA receptor have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Allosteric modulator, Anticonvulsant, Anxiolytic, Bicuculline, Channel blocker, Ethanol, GABAB receptor, Gabazine, Gaboxadol, Gamma-Aminobutyric acid, Hypnotic, Isoguvacine, Muscimol, Neurotransmitter, Progabide, Propofol, Receptor antagonist, Sedative, Valerenic acid.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Allosteric modulator

In biochemistry and pharmacology, an allosteric modulator (allo- from the Greek meaning "other") is a substance which indirectly influences (modulates) the effects of a primary ligand that directly activates or deactivates the function of a target protein.
