DescriptionTPMPA ((1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-4-yl)methylphosphinic acid) is a selective antagonist of GABA<sub>C</sub> receptors (also known as GABA-ρ or GABA<sub>A-ρ</sub> receptors).[A245303] GABA<sub>C</sub> receptors are found primarily in the retina, although they may be present in other tissues, including the hippocampus, spinal cord, superior colliculus, pituitary and the gut.[A245308,A245313] TPMPA is used as a pharmacological probe for the investigation of GABA<sub>C</sub> receptor function.[A245313]
