• Entrez ID: 2572
• Gene name: Glutamate decarboxylase 2
• Gene symbol: GAD2
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): GAD65
• Chromosome: 10
• Chromosome location: 10p12.1
• Summary: 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 path
