ncbi summary :
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
GAD67: Catalyzes the production of GABA. Homodimer. Isoform 3 is expressed in pancreatic islets, testis, adrenal cortex, and perhaps other endocrine tissues, but not in brain. Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: EC 4.1.1.15; Amino Acid Metabolism - alanine, aspartate and glutamate; Mitochondrial; Carbohydrate Metabolism - butanoate; Lyase; Other Amino Acids Metabolism - beta-alanine; Other Amino Acids Metabolism - taurine and hypotaurine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q31. Cellular Component: plasma membrane; vesicle membrane; intracellular. Molecular Function: protein binding; glutamate binding; glutamate decarboxylase activity; protein heterodimerization activity; protein N-terminus binding; pyridoxal phosphate binding. Biological Process: response to drug; synaptic transmission; glutamate catabolic process; glutamate decarboxylation to succinate; neurotransmitter secretion; gamma-aminobutyric acid biosynthetic process; protein-pyridoxal-5-phosphate linkage; neurotransmitter biosynthetic process. Disease: Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Quadriplegic, 1
