Description: Glutamate decarboxylase 1 (GAD67), also known as GAD1, is a human gene. 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 GAD67 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. It 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.
Immunogen: Human partial recombinant protein (AA 14-122) was used as the immunogen for this GAD67 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the GAD67 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
