Calpain cleavage of brain glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 is pathological and impairs GABA neurotransmission.
Previously, we have shown that the GABA synthesizing enzyme, L-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) is cleaved to form its truncated form (tGAD65) which is 2-3 times more active than the full length form (fGAD65). The enzyme responsible for cleavage was later identified as calpain. Calpain is know...
