| Accepted name: |
double-stranded RNA adenine deaminase |
| Reaction: |
adenine in double-stranded RNA + H2O = hypoxanthine in double-stranded RNA + NH3 |
| Other name(s): |
ADAR; double-stranded RNA adenosine deaminase; dsRAD; dsRNA adenosine deaminase; DRADA1; double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase |
| Systematic name: |
double-stranded RNA adenine aminohydrolase |
| Comments: |
This eukaryotic enzyme is involved in RNA editing. It destabilizes double-stranded RNA through conversion of adenosine to inosine. Inositol hexakisphosphate is required for activity [4].
