GABA shunt metabolic pathway

GABA shunt metabolic pathway. GABA is first synthesized from its precursor glutamate via GAD catalysation, and it is then reversibly converted to SSA via GABA‐T catalysation. SSADH further catalyses the oxidation of SSA to succinate, which is an important component in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The mitochondrial transporters shown are GABA permease, a glutamate carrier and an aspartate–glutamate exchanger. SSA, succinic semialdehyde; GHB, γ‐hydroxybutyric acid; OAA, oxaloacetate; 2OG, 2‐oxoglutarate; TCA, tricarboxylic acid; and miETC, mitochondrial electron transport chain.
