Target Details for GAD

Target: GAD (GAD1) (Glutamate Decarboxylase 1 (Brain, 67kDa) (GAD1))

Alternative Name: GAD1

Background:

Background: Glutamate decarboxylase 1 (brain, 67 kDa) (GAD67), also known as GAD1, is a human gene. It is mapped to 2q31.1. This gene encodes one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. The enzyme encoded is responsible for catalyzing the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. A pathogenic role for this enzyme has been identified in the human pancreas since it has been identified as an autoantigen and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Deficiency in this enzyme has been shown to lead to pyridoxine dependency with seizures. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two products, the predominant 67-kD form and a less-frequent 25-kD form.

Gene Full Name: glutamate decarboxylase 1

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.

Gene ID: 2571
