adenosine deaminase RNA specific | Cytological Location | 1q21.3 |
Brief Description | adenosine deaminase RNA specific |
Description | This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for RNA editing by site-specific deamination of adenosines. This enzyme destabilizes double-stranded RNA through conversion of adenosine to inosine. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010] |
