Background
Enables glutamate binding activity; glutamate decarboxylase activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; cellular response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulus; and response to dexamethasone. Located in several cellular components, including inhibitory synapse; neuronal cell body; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and presynapse. Biomarker of autism spectrum disorder; bipolar disorder; epilepsy; transient cerebral ischemia; and withdrawal disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; amphetamine abuse; diabetes mellitus (multiple); drug psychosis; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GAD2 (glutamate decarboxylase 2).
