| ncRNA Symbol: | ADARB1 | | Full Name: | adenosine deaminase, RNA specific B1 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | ADAR2|DRABA2|DRADA2|RED1 | | Chromosome: | chr21 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 45073853 | End Site(bp): | 45226560 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for pre-mRNA editing of the glutamate receptor subunit B by site-specific deamination of adenosines. Studies in rat found that this enzyme acted on its own pre-mRNA molecules to convert an AA dinucleotide to an AI dinucleotide which resulted in a new splice site. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants, some of which have been characterized by the presence or absence of an ALU cassette insert and a short or long C-terminal region.
