The GAD-65 (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase) antibody test is a blood assay used to identify an autoimmune attack against the GAD enzyme. This enzyme is crucial because it helps produce GABA, the primary “calming” neurotransmitter in the brain and a key component in the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.The GAD-65 (Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase) antibody test is a blood assay used to identify an autoimmune attack against the GAD enzyme. This enzyme is crucial because it helps produce GABA, the primary “calming” neurotransmitter in the brain and a key component in the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
When the body produces IgG antibodies against GAD-65, it mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to neurological disorders or the destruction of insulin-producing cells.
