Gene information for ADAR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID103
Official gene symbolADAR
Full nameadenosine deaminase, RNA-specific
Aliases,ADAR1,DRADA,DSH,DSRAD,G1P1,IFI-4,IFI4,K88dsRBP,p136,
Gene summaryThis 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]
