BioReagent

l Physical and Chemical Information

Physical form

Solution in 50% glycerol, 5 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.0

l Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol Actions

Adenosine deaminase is a purine catabolic enzyme which catalyzes the deamination of adenosine and 2′-deoxyadenosine with approximately equal specificity. It is ubiquitous in mammalian tissue, and deficiency in adenosine deaminase has been associated with severe combined immunodeficiency disease.

Application

Adenosine deaminase is useful in various molecular biology assays, such as glycerol release assays. Adenosine deaminase is a potential target for treatments of combined immunodeficiency disease.

Preparation Note

Solution in 50% glycerol, 5 mM potassium phosphate, pH 6.0

Unit Definition

One unit will deaminate 1.0 μmole of adenosine to inosine per min at pH 7.5 at 25 °C.
