gene: adah-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable adenosine deaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in hypoxanthine salvage; negative regulation of adenosine receptor signaling pathway; and purine ribonucleoside metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Legionnaires' disease; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ADA (adenosine deaminase).
