Anti-GADL1 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein glutamate decarboxylase like 1. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 521 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.2 kDa. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is noted to be expressed very weakly in neurons and not detected in astrocytes, brain or liver. A member of the Group II decarboxylase protein family, GADL1 is believed to catalyze the decarboxylation of L-aspartate, 3-sulfino-L-alanine (cysteine sulfinic acid), and L-cysteate to beta-alanine, hypotaurine and taurine, respectively. Synonyms for this target antigen include aspartate 1-decarboxylase, glutamate decarboxylase-like protein 1, and acidic amino acid decarboxylase GADL1. GADL1 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the GADL1 antibodies listed below. Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
