Adenosine deaminase (also known as adenosine aminhydrolase, or ADA) is an enzyme ({EC number|3.5.4.4}) involved in purine metabolism. It is needed for the breakdown of adenosine from food and for the turnover of nucleic acids in tissues. Present in virtually all mammalian cells, its primary function in humans is the development and maintenance of ...
