Recombinant Human GAD1, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GAD1-149H
• Product Overview: GAD1, 1-224aa, Human, His tag, E.coli

Specification

• Description: GAD1 is one of several forms of glutamic acid decarboxylase, identified as a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes. It 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 protien 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. Recombinant human GAD1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli .
