1 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
2 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
3 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
4 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
5 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
6 The inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is synthesized by two isoforms of the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD): GAD65 and GAD67. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
7 Whereas GAD67 is constitutively active and produces >90% of GABA in the central nervous system, GAD65 is transiently activated and augments GABA levels for rapid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
8 Thus two distinct mechanisms target the constitutively active GAD67 to presynaptic clusters to facilitate accumulation of GABA for rapid delivery into synapses. gamma-Aminobutyric Acid glutamate decarboxylase 1 Homo sapiens
