Gamma-hydroxybutyrate receptor or GHB receptor is a receptor that binds gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid. gamma -Hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, GHB, or fantasy is a naturally-occurring substance found in the Central nervous Its existence was predicted by observing the action of its agonists that previously were thought to act on GABA-B receptors. [1] The rat GHB receptor was first cloned and characterised in 2003[2] followed by the human receptor in 2007. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. [3] It is a G-protein coupled receptor. G protein-coupled receptors ( GPCRs) also known as seven transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, and
