Anti-Glutamate decarboxylase antibodies are used in antigen-specific immunodetection in biological samples. The target Glutamate decarboxylase is a known alias name of the protein glutamate-ammonia ligase, encoded by the GLUL gene in humans. This 373-amino acid residue protein is reported to be a glutamine synthetase that catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of glutamate and ammonia to glutamine. It is localized to the cell membrane, mitochondria, and cytoplasm of the cell and features ubiquitinated and palmitoylated post-translational modifications. In terms of tissue expression, it is reported to be expressed in endothelial cells. Other synonyms for Glutamate decarboxylase include GLNS, GLNS, and GS. Western Blot is the most common application for the Glutamate decarboxylase antibodies listed below. ELISA and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
