CECR1 is a member of the adenosine and AMP deaminases family. It may act as a growth factor and have adenosine deaminase activity. It is a candidate gene for cat eye syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
Adenosine deaminase is an enzyme that is present in most tissues and exists predominantly as a monomer, although in some tissues it is associated with adenosine deaminase-binding protein. Adenosine deaminase degrades extracellular a
