Adenosine deaminase (ADA) isoenzymes ADA1 and ADA2: diagnostic and biological role.
نویسنده
چکیده
The isoenzymes ADA1 and ADA2 of the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA 3.5.4.4) deaminate mainly two nucleosides: adenosine and 2'deoxyadenosine, producing inosine and 2'deoxyinosine. Adenosine and 2'deoxyadenosine are molecules with many effects on human cells [1–4]. Thus, the homeostasis of these substances and the activity of the isoenzymes ADA1 and ADA2 in human cells are of extreme importance.

Background: In recent years, numerous regulators of gonadal function have been studied. Adenosine deaminase(ADA) is widely distributed throughout human tissues and may contribute in the regulation of menstrual cycle. The purpose of this study was to determine the plasma activities of total adenosine deaminase (ADAT), and its isoenzymes, ADA1 and ADA2, and ADA1/ADA2 ratio during the menses, foll...

Human adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) consists of three isoenzymes: ADA1, ADA1+CP, and ADA2. We developed an electrophoretic technique to distinguish between these three isoenzymes. The isoenzyme pattern was studied in tissue and cell homogenates, as well as in serum from normal subjects and from patients with increased serum ADA who had either hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, tubercu...
