Gamma-hydroxybutyrate receptor or GHB receptor is a receptor that binds gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid. 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.[3] It is a G-protein coupled receptor.
