Adenosine deaminase

La adenosina desaminasa es una enzima que interviene en el metabolismo de las purinas. La mayor parte de la actividad ADA se encuentra en los linfocitos y los monocitos, siendo en ellos unas diez veces superior a la de los otros tejidos.

It occurs in fewer than one in 100live births . Platelet aggregation and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity were evaluated in pregnant women living with some disease conditions .

The ADA gene provides instructions for producing the enzyme adenosine deaminase. This enzyme is produced in all cells, but the highest . In some studies, the level of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in sputum and effusion liquids was used for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The adenosine deaminase (ADA) test is not a diagnostic test, but it may be used along with other tests such as pleural fluid analysis, acid-fast . Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine and 2-deoxyadenosine (PubMed:845253 PubMed:16670267).
