Glutamate decarboxylase 65 (GAD65), encoded by the GAD2 gene, is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme responsible for synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. GAD65 localizes predominantly to presynaptic terminals and synaptic vesicle-associated compartments where it supports activity-dependent GABA production required for inhibitory neurotransmission and synaptic signaling regulation. GAD65 Antibody is useful for investigations involving inhibitory neurotransmitter biology, synaptic signaling pathways, neuronal differentiation, and GABAergic neural circuit organization.
GAD65 antibody, also referred to as GAD2 antibody and Glutamate decarboxylase 65 antibody in the literature, recognizes a membrane-associated neuronal enzyme encoded on chromosome 10p11.23. GAD65 is enriched within inhibitory interneurons and synaptic terminals throughout cortical, hippocampal, cerebellar, and subcortical neural tissues. Unlike GAD67, which supports constitutive GABA production, GAD65 is strongly associated with regulated synaptic neurotransmitter release and rapid inhibitory signaling responses. Altered GAD65 expression has been associated with epilepsy, autoimmune neurologic disease, type 1 diabetes-associated autoimmunity, neurodevelopmental disorders, and synaptic dysfunction-associated neurologic pathology.
GAD65 Antibody / Synaptic GABA Marker Antibody (clone GAD2/2362) is uniquely positioned for studies involving inhibitory synaptic signaling and GABAergic neurotransmission. This mouse monoclonal antibody demonstrates strong immunohistochemical detection together with highly selective HuProt(TM) microarray specificity validation against more than 19,000 full-length human proteins. The combined validation profile supports use of clone GAD2/2362 in investigations involving inhibitory synaptic organization, neurotransmitter-associated signaling pathways, and GABAergic neuronal differentiation.
Analysis of HuProt(TM) microarrays containing more than 19,000 individually purified full-length human proteins demonstrated highly selective recognition of GAD65/GAD2 by clone GAD2/2362. In HuProt(TM) analysis, the Z-score represents the strength of antibody binding signal relative to the overall array mean, while the S-score reflects target specificity relative to the next highest ranked protein signal. Elevated S-score separation supports preferential target recognition and reduced off-target binding across the tested human proteome. This specificity validation strategy supports highly selective detection of synaptic GABA-associated signaling pathways in complex neural tissues.
GAD65 contributes directly to inhibitory synaptic transmission through regulated GABA synthesis linked to synaptic vesicle cycling and neuronal activity-dependent neurotransmitter release. Because GAD65 expression is highly associated with inhibitory synapses and GABAergic neuronal populations, it serves as an important marker for studies involving inhibitory neural circuitry, synaptic neurotransmission, and interneuron-associated signaling pathways. GAD65 additionally represents a widely utilized marker in investigations involving neural autoantigens and synaptic dysfunction-associated disease biology.
This GAD65 Antibody supports research involving GABA synthesis, inhibitory synaptic signaling, interneuron differentiation, synaptic neurotransmission pathways, neural circuit organization, neurodevelopment-associated regulation, and GABAergic neuronal biology. Clone GAD2/2362 may be incorporated into immunohistochemistry and tissue-based investigations examining inhibitory neural signaling pathways in normal and diseased tissues.
