Abstract
A bioluminescent GABA assay is described. The principle of the procedure is based on the action of GABASE (GABA-aminotransferase plus succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase), coupled to the detection of succinic semialdehyde and NADH, using Photobacterium luciferase. The method was used for monitoring GABA release from depolarized brain slices.
