- GAD2
Glutamate decarboxylase 2 (pancreatic islets and brain, 65kDa), also known as GAD2, is a human
gene .PBB_Summary
section_title =
summary_text = 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.
