Description

GADL1 (Glutamate Decarboxylase Like 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with GADL1 include Gadl1-Related Altered Drug Metabolism. Among its related pathways are Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis and Taurine and hypotaurine metabolism.

GADL1 encodes a member of the group 2 decarboxylase family. A similar protein in rodents plays a role in multiple biological processes as the rate-limiting enzyme in taurine biosynthesis, catalyzing the decarboxylation of cysteine sulfinate to hypotaurine.

The cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase enzyme (CSAD), also known as sulfoalanine decarboxylase, is an enzyme involved in the taurine biosynthesis. It is in charge of catalyzing the reaction that decarboxylates cysteine sulfinate generating hypotaurine and CO2. CSAD is a liase, and more specifically a carboxylase (Sumizu, K., 1962)

Notes

The sequence was cleaned up from restriction sites, to be able to use in a biobrick format. Furthermore, this part was codon optimized to E. coli.

Source

The sequence of this part was taken from NCBI databank, from the Homo sapiens genome sequence.
