Abstract
The cDNAs encoding the porcine 65- and 67-kDa glutamic acid decar☐ylases (GAD65 and GAD67, respectively) were cloned by the PCR method. The 2246-nucleotide (nt) GAD65 cDNA contained an open reading frame (ORF) coding for a protein of 585 amino acids (aa), and the 3262-nt GAD67 cDNA contained an ORF coding for a protein of 594 aa. A remarkable conservation was shown when the deduced aa sequences of porcine GAD65 and GAD67 were compared with those of other mammalian species (human, cat and rat). Porcine GAD65 is 96% identical to human and rat GAD65, and porcine GAD67 is more than 95% identical to human, cat and rat GAD67 at the aa level.
