The Deaminase, adenosine, with the CAS registry number 9026-93-1, is also known as Adenosine aminohydrolase. It belongs to the product categories of Hydrolases; Specialty Enzymes. Its EINECS number is 232-817-5. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of adenosine to inosine with the elimination of ammonia. Since there are wide tissue and species variations in the enzyme, it has been used as a tool in the study of human and animal genetics and in medical diagnosis. It is also an enzyme (EC 3.5.4.4) involved in purine metabolism. It is needed for the breakdown of adenosine from food and for the turnover of nucleic acids in tissues. There are two isoforms of Deaminase, adenosine, that is ADA1 and ADA2. ADA1 is found in most body cells, particularly lymphocytes and macrophages, where it is present not only in the cytosol and nucleus but also as the ecto- form on the cell membrane attached to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (aka, CD26). ADA2 was first identified in human spleen. It was subsequently found in other tissues including the macrophage where it co-exists with ADA1. The two isoforms regulate the ratio of adenosine to deoxyadenosine potentiating the killing of parasites. Deaminase, adenosine should be sealed and stored in a cool and dry place with the storage temperature of 2-8°C.
