ADA (adenosine deaminase)

Adenosine elimination on human airway epithelia is mediated by proteins including adenosine deaminase 1 (ADA1), concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT)2, and CNT3 (Hirsh et al., 2007). These proteins are important regulators of adenosine-mediated inflammation. The study of pediatric patients with chronic hypoxia having cardiac surgery showed significant elevation in plasma adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity [...] http://digg.com/u1PeRc
