γ-Aminobutyraldehyde (ABAL, GABAL), also known as 4-aminobutanal or 4-aminobutyraldehyde, is a metabolite of putrescine and a biological precursor of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA).[1][2] It can be converted into GABA by the actions of diamine oxidase (DAO) and aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (ABALDH) (e.g., ALDH9A1).[1] However, biosynthesis of GABA from polyamines like putrescine is a minor metabolic pathway in the brain.[1] Monoacetylputrescine can be converted into ABAL via monoamine oxidase (MAO).[3]
The related compound γ-hydroxybutyraldehyde (GHBAL) is a prodrug of γ-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) as well as a metabolic intermediate in the conversion of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) into GHB.[4][5] However, aliphatic aldehydes like GHBAL are caustic, strong-smelling, and foul-tasting, and ingestion is likely to be unpleasant and result in severe nausea and vomiting.[citation needed]

Alternate pathways of GABA synthesis from putrescine and other polyamines have also been reported [207–211]. Here, γ-aminobutyraldehyde, an intermediate from polyamine degradation reaction via combined activities of diamine oxidase (DAO, E.C. 1.4.3.6) and 4-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (ABALDH), leads to the synthesis of GABA [205,212,213]. In response to abiotic stresses, GABA is also reported to be synthesized from proline via D1-pyrroline intermediate formation [47,205,214] and also by a nonenzymatic reaction [214]. However, GABA synthesis from polyamine pathways is minor in the brain, [215] although they play a significant role in the developing brain [216] and retina [217]. But GABA can be formed from putrescine in the mammalian brain [218].

MAO also catalyses the deamination of a natural brain constituent, monoacetyl-putrescine, producing y-acetylaminobutyraldehyde, which in turn participates in the formation of brain GABA [13].
