TL;DR
The enzymic assay is sensitive to 10-1" moles of GABA and is highly specific; the only other substance known to react in this assay is the fl-hydroxy derivative of GABA, however, this substance is not found in the lobster nervous system.

The pharmacological properties of lobster neuromuscular synapses and probably also of other crustacean inhibitory synapses appear to stand in a doubly inverted relation to axodendritic synapses of cat.

GABA, γ-amino-β-hydroxy-butyric acid, guanidino acetic acid, β-alanine and others were found to increase the membrane conductance of the muscle fibers and shift the membrane potential in the same direction as the inhibitory postsynaptic potential.
