About Gad1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid from L-glutamic acid. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two products, the predominant 67 kDa isoform and a smaller 25 kDa isoform. The smaller isoform is not thought to retain catalytic activity.
