Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalyzes the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as cofactor.FUNCTION Enzymatically inactive as glutamate decarboxylase.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-glutamate + H(+) = 4-aminobutanoate + CO2COFACTOR Homodimer.INTERACTION Expressed in brain.TISSUE SPECIFICITY Expressed in pancreatic islets, testis, adrenal cortex, and perhaps other endocrine tissues, but not in brain.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the group II decarboxylase family.ONLINE INFORMATION Glutamate decarboxylase entry
