GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as "the calming chemical", is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that blocks certain nerve signals in the brain to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress. In the cell, GABA is generated from one of the twenty natural proteinogenic amino acids through decarboxylation catalyzed by a decarboxylase enzyme. What is this precursor amino acid?
