Gene: ADAR
Alternate names for this Gene: ADAR1|AGS6|DRADA|DSH|DSRAD|G1P1|IFI-4|IFI4|K88DSRBP|P136
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for RNA editing by site-specific deamination of adenosines. This enzyme destabilizes double-stranded RNA through conversion of adenosine to inosine. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1q21.3
Description of this Gene: adenosine deaminase RNA specific
Type of Gene: protein-coding
Gene: CHRNB2
Alternate names for this Gene: EFNL3|nAChRB2
Gene Summary: Neuronal acetylcholine receptors are homo- or heteropentameric complexes composed of homologous alpha and beta subunits. They belong to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels which allow the flow of sodium and potassium across the plasma membrane in response to ligands such as acetylcholine and nicotine. This gene encodes one of several beta subunits. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy.
