Predicted to enable glutamate decarboxylase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in GABAergic synaptic transmission. Located in axon; perikaryon; and synapse. Expressed in EF neuron and neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder; epilepsy; and spastic cerebral palsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bipolar disorder; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 89; and diabetes mellitus (multiple). Is an ortholog of human GAD1 (glutamate decarboxylase 1) and GAD2 (glutamate decarboxylase 2).
Predicted to enable polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; proteasome binding activity; and ubiquitin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Expressed in dorsal nerve cord; head; neurons; ventral nerve cord; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human RAD23A (RAD23 homolog A, nucleotide excision repair protein).
