| Gene Symbol | GAD2 |
| Gene Full Name | glutamate decarboxylase 2 (pancreatic islets and brain, 65kDa) |
| Background | 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 autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008] |
| Function | Catalyzes the production of GABA. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Associated to cytoplasmic vesicles. In neurons, cytosolic leaflet of Golgi membranes and presynaptic clusters. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 65 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylated; which does not affect kinetic parameters or subcellular location. Palmitoylated; which is required for presynaptic clustering. [UniProt] |
