Double-Stranded RNA-Specific Adenosine Deaminase

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (1226 aa, ~136 kDa) is encoded by the human ADAR gene. This protein plays a role in the deamination of adenosine to inosine in double-stranded RNA (A-to-I RNA editing).
