| - | '''Adenosine deaminase''' (ADA) deaminates adenosine and deoxyadenosine into inosine or deoxyinosine. ADA is part of the purine metabolism. In humans ADA is involved in the development and maintenance of the immune system. ADA binds dipeptidyl peptidase IV. The complex acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation and regulates lymphocytes-epithelial adhesion.<ref>PMID:1925539</ref> | + | '''Adenosine deaminase''' (ADA) or '''double-stranded RNA-specific editase''' deaminates adenosine and deoxyadenosine into inosine or deoxyinosine.
