ANTI-ADARB1 ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT (C15-1737-988)

General description

Adenosine deaminase, RNA specific B1 (ADARB1) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 21q22.3, a region associated with familial bipolar disorder. ADARB1 is characterized with two double-stranded RNA-binding domains and a deaminase domain involved in editing action.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human ADARB1.

Immunogen Range: 481-530

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine deaminase, RNA specific B1 (ADARB1) enzyme plays a vital role in editing pre-mRNA of glutamate receptor B subunit. Combined effect of ADARB1 and HTR2C (5-Hydroxytryptamine Receptor 2C) variants contribute to the suicide attempt (SA) vulnerability in psychiatric patients. ADARB1 is a candidate gene for neurological diseases, such as bipolar affective disorder and epilepsy. Decrease in the activity of ADAR2 enzyme results in α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor-mediated death of motor neurons in mice. ADARB1 enzyme is expressed consistently in carcinomas and sarcomas, and it is upregulated in lymphomas and seminomas when compared to normal tissues.
