Recombinant Human GAD2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GAD2-9169H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human GAD2 protein with a His-tag was expressed in E. coli

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 1-585 aa
• 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 autoantibody and an autoreactive T cell target in insulin-dependent diabetes. This gene may also play a role in the stiff man syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 67.5 kDa.
