abstract The distributions of glycine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15), and GABA transaminase (EC 2.6.1.19) were determined in rabbit and mudpuppy retinas. In both species, peak levels of the amino acids and the enzymes occurred in the inner plexiform layer. Glutamate decarboxylase was almost entirely confined to the inner plexiform layer. Determinations were also made of the GABA content of 107 individual putative amacrine cell somas from mudpuppy retina. About 30% of those somas were found to have high endogenous GABA levels.
