| Tissue Specificity | Isoform 1: Expressed in brain. Isoform 3: Expressed in pancreatic islets, testis, adrenal cortex, and perhaps other endocrine tissues, but not in brain. |
| Function | Catalyzes the synthesis of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as cofactor. Isoform 3: Enzymatically inactive as glutamate decarboxylase. |
