Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for GAD2(NM_001134366.2) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
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 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.

- The structure of GAD67 shows a tethered loop covering the active site, providing a catalytic environment that sustains GABA production. In contrast, the same catalytic loop is inherently mobile in GAD65.

- Glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic suunit promoter polymorphisms may influence GAD65 autoantibody levels and influence the age of onset of type 1 diabetes.
- Autoantibodies persist for 6 yearts after diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes in adultsbut levels and reactivity to different GAD65 epitopes are not associated with disease progression.
- Differences in the epitope GAD65 binding between mother and child at birth are limited. The epitope pattern at type 1 diabetes diagnosis differed from that at birth, supporting the view that disease-associated epitopes develop between birth and diagnosis
- This study validates LIPS as a robust method to interrogate autoantibodies for the diagnosis of SPS and potentially other neurological diseases.
- The proximity of B- and T-cell epitopes within the GAD65 structure suggests that antigen-antibody complexes may influence antigen processing by accessory cells and thereby T-cell reactivity.
- conclude that masked GAD65Ab are present in the healthy population and that a lack of particular anti-Ids, rather than GAD65Ab per se, is a characteristic of type 1 diabetes.
