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
