Description

Description générale

GAD65 is a group II decarboxylase enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of GABA from glutamate with the aid of the cofactor, pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. GAD65 localizes at presynaptic GABAergic terminals and is reported to supply local vesicular pools of GABA facilitating transient inhibitiory neurotransmission, although GAD65 may also play a role in more sustained tonic inhibitory signals. It is present as a dimer of alpha and beta subunits and is regulated by alternative splicing, which may produce the GAD67 isoform. GAD65 also undergoes post-translational modifications such as palmitoylation of N-terminal cysteine residues and phosphorylation of multiple alpha-subunit serine residues that enable membrane-anchoring and other vesicular activities. GAD65 has been implicated in neurological conditions resulting from failure of inhibitory neurotransmission such as Huntington′s disease and epilepsy. In addition to its CNS presence, GAD65 also produces GABA in pancreatic beta cells and dysfunction in this area may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Description de la cible

~59/63 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight is 65 kDa, however GAD65 has been shown as a ~59/63 doublet in western blots. (Christgau, S., et al. (1991). Journal of Biological Chemistry. 266(31):21257-21264.) An uncharacterized band appears at ~38 kDa in some lysates.
