Anti-GAD1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Antibodies
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD; E.C. 4.1.1.15) is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of glutamic acid to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) - the major inhibitory transmitter in higher brain regions. Two molecular forms of GAD (GAD65 and GAD67) are known from rat, cat, pig and man, and both forms are expressed in the CNS and in pancreatic islet endocrine cells. A recent Western blotting study has identified that the isoforms are regionally distributed in the brains of rats and mice. In rat pancreas, GAD65 and GAD67 appear to be differentially localised, GAD65 primarily in insulin-containing (β) cells and GAD67 in glucagon-containing (A) cells. Evidence from knock-out mice suggests that GABA generated by pancreatic GAD isoforms is not critically involved in normal islet cell development and morphology. However, β-cell-specific GAD expression has been shown to be required for the development of autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
