Background InformationGutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD; E.C. 4.1.1.15) is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of glutamic acid to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory transmitter in higher brain regions, and putative paracrine hormone in pancreatic islets. Two molecular forms of GAD (65 kDa and 67 kDa, 64% aa identity between forms) are highly conserved and both forms are expressed in the CNS, pancreatic islet cells, testis, oviduct and ovary. The isoforms are regionally distributed cytoplasmically in the brains of rats and mice (Sheikh, 1999). GAD65 is an amphiphilic, membrane-anchored protein (585 a.a.), encoded on human chromosome 10, and is responsible for vesicular GABA production. GAD67 is cytoplasmic (594 a.a.), encoded on chromosome 2, and seems to be responsible for significant cytoplasmic GABA production. GAD expression changes during neural development in rat spinal cord. GAD65 is expressed transiently in commissural axons around E13 but is down regulated the next day while GAD67 expression increases mostly in the somata of those neurons (Phelps, 1999). In mature rat pancreas, GAD65 and GAD67 appear to be differentially localized, GAD65 primarily in insulin-containing beta cells and GAD67 in glucagon-containing (A) cells (Li, 1995). GAD67 expression seems to be particularly plastic and can change in response to experimental manipulation (for example neuronal stimulation or transection) or disease progression and emergent disorders like schizophrenia (Volk, 2000). Colocalization of the two GAD isoforms also shows changes in GAD65/GAD67 distributions correlated with certain disease states such as IDDM and SMS.

Applications
ApplicationThis Anti-GAD Antibody, clone 1G10.2 is validated for use in IH, IH(P), WB for the detection of GAD67. This Anti GAD antibody has more than 75 product citations.
Key Applications
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesWestern Blot: A 1:5,000-1:10,000 dilution was used on a previous lot using ECL on rat and mouse brain lysate.

Immunohistochemistry on 4% paraformaldehyde fixed mouse and rat tissue: 1:1,000-1:5,000. The antibody has also worked well on human tissue fixed for 10 minutes in 4% PFA at 4°C or 100% ethanol at +20°C or 100% acetone at -20°C at dilutions of 1:2,500-1:5,000.
A polyclonal to GAD67 is also available as AB5992.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis 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 gene 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.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q99259 # Catalyzes the production of GABA.
COFACTOR: Pyridoxal phosphate.
SIZE: 594 amino acids; 66897 Da
SUBUNIT: Homodimer.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: GAD67 is expressed in the CNS, pancreatic islet cells, testis, oviduct and ovary.
DISEASE: SwissProt: Q99259 # Defects in GAD1 are the cause of autosomal recessive symmetric spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) [MIM:603513]. Cerebral palsy (CP) is an heterogeneous group of neurological disorders of movement and/or posture, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 250 to 1'000 live births, making CP one the commonest congenital disabilities. Non-progressive forms of symmetrical, spastic CP have been identified, which show a Mendelian autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Patients present developmental delay, mental retardation and sometimes epilepsy as part of the phenotype.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q99259 ## Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.
