Background

Glutamic acid decarboxylases (GAD), which catalyze the formation of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid, are detectable in different isoforms encoded by distinct genes. GAD2, also known as GAD65, is expressed in the brain and pancreatic islets. GAD2 has been implicated as an autoantigen in the autoimmune disease Stiff Man Syndrome and in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
