Gene information for Adarb1 (Rattus norvegicus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25367
Official gene symbolAdarb1
Full nameadenosine deaminase, RNA-specific, B1
AliasesAdar2,Red1
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a double-stranded-RNA-specific adenosine deaminase that is involved in editing pre-mRNAs by site-specific conversion of adenosine (A) to inosine (I). Substrates for this enzyme include ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluR2-6) and serotonin receptor (5HT2C). Studies in rodents have shown that this protein can modify its own pre-mRNA by A->I editing to create a novel acceptor splice site, alternative splicing to which results in down regulation of its protein expression. Additional splicing events result in transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
