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. 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 directed movement of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 4-aminobutyrate) into a cell or organelle. The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. 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.
