ADAR adenosine deaminase RNA specific [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 103)

Symbol: ADAR

Full name: adenosine deaminase RNA specific

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ADAR1; AGS6; DRADA; DSH; DSRAD; G1P1; IFI-4; IFI4; K88DSRBP; P136

Summary: 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]
