title: The synthesis and characterization of [2,3-3H] gamma-aminobutyric acid via 4-aminotetrolic acid at high specific activity.
abstract: Gamma-aminobutyric acid was labelled with tritium by the tritium gas catalytic reduction of a convenient 4-aminotetrolic acid derivative. The purified product was characterized by HPLC and tritium NMR.
