Any biological process involved in the generation, transmission, reception, or interpretation of a signal. A signal is an entity used to transmit or convey information. The process whereby a signal is secreted or discharged into the extracellular medium from a cellular source. The directed movement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 4-aminobutyrate), an amino acid which acts as a neurotransmitter in some organisms, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The regulated release of gamma-aminobutyric acid by a cell or group of cells. The gamma-aminobutyric acid is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain but is also found in several extraneural tissues. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of gamma-aminobutyric acid. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of gamma-aminobutyric acid. The process whereby a signal is released and/or conveyed from one location to another. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of gamma-aminobutyric acid. The cellular process by which a physical entity or change in state, a signal, is created that originates in one cell and is used to transfer information to another cell. This process begins with the initial formation of the signal and ends with the mature form and placement of the signal. The controlled release of a substance by a cell, a group of cells, or a tissue. The directed movement of L-enantiomer amino acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore.
