Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) catalyses the conversion of L-glutamic acid to the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Two forms of human GAD, GAD65 and GAD67, are encoded by two separate genes. A full length human GAD67 cDNA has been isolated from a human frontal cortex cDNA library and the nucleotide sequence determined. The GAD67 gene has been mapped to chromosome 2 using the polymerase chain reaction to amplify specifically the human sequence in rodent/human somatic cell hybrid DNA. This confirms that human GAD67 is not syntenic with the smaller GAD isoform GAD65 which has been assigned to chromosome 10. Production of polyclonal antiserum to a baculovirus-expressed GAD67 enabled immunocytological detection of GAD in the rat brain.
