Role of the 5-HT7 receptor in the central nervous system: from current status to future perspectives.

abstract：:Accumulating evidence demonstrated that GABAergic dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The GABA aminotransferase (ABAT) gene encodes a mitochondrial GABA transaminase and plays key roles in the biogenesis and metabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a major inhibitory ...
