Immunogen
Fusion protein: SFRARRDLLQLSYGEAKKAARDYDLAKNYFKKSLRDMGYGNWISKPQEEK NFYLCPVPND, corresponding to amino acids 1116-1176 of Rat ADAR1. The fusion protein was constructed in the pGEX-KG vector by inserting a fragment corresponding to nucleotides +3346 through +3525 of ADAR1 at the XbaI and XhoI sites in the vector.

General notes
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Function
Converts multiple adenosines to inosines and creates I/U mismatched base pairs in double-helical RNA substrates without apparent sequence specificity. Has been found to modify more frequently adenosines in AU-rich regions, probably due to the relative ease of melting A/U base pairs as compared to G/C pairs. Functions to modify viral RNA genomes and may be responsible for hypermutation of certain negative-stranded viruses. Edits the messenger RNAs for glutamate receptor (GLUR) subunits by site-selective adenosine deamination. Produces low-level editing at the GLUR-B Q/R site, but edits efficiently at the R/G site and HOTSPOT1. Binds to short interfering RNAs (siRNA) without editing them and suppresses siRNA-mediated RNA interference. Binds to ILF3/NF90 and up-regulates ILF3-mediated gene expression. -
Tissue specificity
Ubiquitously expressed, highest levels were found in brain and lung. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in ADAR are a cause of dyschromatosis symmetrical hereditaria (DSH) [MIM:127400]; also known as reticulate acropigmentation of Dohi. DSH is a pigmentary genodermatosis of autosomal dominant inheritance characterized by a mixture of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules distributed on the dorsal parts of the hands and feet. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 1 A to I editase domain.
Contains 2 DRADA repeats.
Contains 3 DRBM (double-stranded RNA-binding) domains. -
Post-translational
modificationsSumoylation reduces RNA-editing activity. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Nucleus > nucleolus. Isoform 1 is found predominantly in cytoplasm but appears to shuttle between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Isoform 5 is found exclusively in the nucleolus. - Information by UniProt
