  2. Deamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deamination

    Deamination is the removal of an amino group from a molecule. [1] Enzymes that catalyse this reaction are called deaminases.. In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver; however, it can also occur in the kidney.

  3. Adenosine deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_deaminase

    Adenosine deaminase (also known as adenosine aminohydrolase, or ADA) is 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.

  4. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation-induced...

    Activation-induced cytidine deaminase, also known as AICDA, AID and single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase, is a 24 kDa enzyme which in humans is encoded by the AICDA gene. [5] It creates mutations in DNA [6] [7] by deamination of cytosine base, which turns it into uracil (which is recognized as a thymine). In other words, it changes a C:G base ...

  5. AMP deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMP_deaminase

    AMP deaminase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMPD1 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Adenosine monophosphate deaminase is an enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP), freeing an ammonia molecule in the process.

  6. Cytidine deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytidine_deaminase

    Cytidine deaminase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CDA gene. [5] [6] [7]This gene encodes an enzyme involved in pyrimidine salvaging. The encoded protein forms a homotetramer that catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of cytidine and deoxycytidine to uridine and deoxyuridine, respectively.

  7. Porphobilinogen deaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphobilinogen_deaminase

    Porphobilinogen deaminase (hydroxymethylbilane synthase, or uroporphyrinogen I synthase) is an enzyme (EC 2.5.1.61) that in humans is encoded by the HMBS gene.

  8. Adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency type 1

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_monophosphate...

    Adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency type 1 or AMPD1, is a human metabolic disorder in which the body consistently lacks the enzyme AMP deaminase, [1] in sufficient quantities. This may result in exercise intolerance, muscle pain and muscle cramping. The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD).

  9. Adenosine deaminase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_deaminase_deficiency

    The enzyme adenosine deaminase is encoded by the ADA gene on chromosome 20. [1] ADA deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome (chromosome 20 is an autosome), and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
