Background
ADA is a cytosolic enzyme crucial for purine catabolism, catalyzing the conversion of adenosine to inosine and ammonia. Its primary function is regulating the concentration of adenosine and deoxyadenosine, which are potent signaling and cytotoxic molecules. Dysregulation of ADA activity is a key indicator and driver of immunological disorders and chronic inflammation.
Pathways
ADA is a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway, regulating adenosine levels to prevent toxic accumulation of deoxyadenosine. It acts as an upstream modulator of adenosine receptor signaling, influencing T-cell maturation and immune homeostasis.
