Recombinant Human glutamate decarboxylase 1 (brain, 67kDa), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GAD1-615H
• Product Overview: GAD1-iso1, 1-594aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Specification

• Description: 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 protein may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Deficiency in this enzyme has been shown to lead to pyridoxine dependency with seizures. Recombinant human GAD1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli.
